Where can I download ethOS without buying it from GPUshack?
On ethosdistro.com under licensing it says the following:
ethOS is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
So where is the download

Sounds like you'd be better served using the software in this thread:

One day you install on 2nd miner machine, the next you know a goat with red eyes is chewing your eyes out..

You can use promo code BULKLICENSE to match that listing for $29 at http://gpushack.com/collections/gpushack
The promo code applies to the SSD as well.
In other words, you can buy ethOS and do anything you want with it later on, including giving it away for free or modify it to your liking, as long as you share the source code and credit the original authors.
Also, some OSS licenses allow you to distribute open source and proprietary closed-source code together.
While I have no interest in using ethOS, I've actually conducted business with @kotarius through eBay. All I can say is that he knows what he's doing when it comes to being an entrepreneur, and unfortunately "haters gon hate."
Tried countless different settings, finally could get it stable for 2 days, that was about it. HATED it with a passion but it was the only solution for my 12 card rig. Used WAY more power as well at the wall. HORRIBLE OS if you ask me, but I am sure there are those who love it?
Finally now I am back to 8 cards again on this rig and thankfully back to windows 10 stable again! YAY! I gave it more than a fair chance and my final conclusion was FAIL. Sorry guys, hope someone else has better luck than I did. I was using Nvidia cards, maybe amd is a better choice, I have no idea.
To top it off the tech support seem to be childish kids with an attitude, they get defensive real easy so you have to baby them to get a straight answer. So glad to be done with it to be honest, but I will admit I tend to be a harsh critic.
Again, maybe AMD is better, or maybe others found the magic trick to get it to work properly. I wish I could get those hours of my life back wasted on that crap. lol : )
