Steve is correct. There is no charge for Fedora or for the Speakup Modified Fedora, unless you ask for disks to be sent to you. In that case, we've used a service called Cheap Bytes to do this. They download and burn our images. The cost is minimal. While the complete distribution is only available on DVD, bootable media is available for CD, as well as other installation options such as PXE.
