There is no place to download Leopard for free.


The only way to get it is to purchase the Leopard install DVD. Apple no longer sells them. They are now going for between $159 and $195.


What ever you do don't get the gray DVD!


They are hardware specific and if you don't have the exact hardware they were issued with they will either not install at all or they do install will cause you a lot of problems later.
