Watch for closeouts/rebates on the older small ones. Also,
if you have a USB adapter for compact flash or SD cards you
can use an old card from a camera that you've replaced with
something larger. It really is faster and easier to NFS
export the iso images and boot from USB instead of
having to burn and swap CDs or use floppies (even if they
worked).
