Looking for Ubuntu Installer CD or USB stick

[bloodpet]

Hi everyone. Is there a place near North Hollywood where we could buy / rent / borrow a Linux installer on a CD or USB drive?

I tried looking for a shop, but all I got are online stores that ask for a credit card / paypal (which i do not have). Is there a brick and mortar shop or an InstallFest in LA (preferably near North Hollywood)? My mom's laptop got the blue screen of death, and I can't go to her place because I'm here in the Philippines right now. She could not download and burn an ISO because there are no other computers at her place and I don't know if she could download and install Ubuntu using her phone.

Welcome to the forums!

I'm outside of the USA, but still can help the answer would be to go to a local internet coffee, library or any other public institution, that offers (possibly free) internet access.

Neighbors or friends might help too

Is there any way your mom can make it to the Pasadena Ubuntu Hour this thursday? We can install Ubuntu on her system right there. Or if you prefer, I can just ship her some CDs and she can install Ubuntu on her own and you can walk her through via the phone.

Let me know which version your mom would be interested in (10.04 long term support, 10.10, 11.04 or the new 11.10). Also if 32 bit or 64 bit. THX.
