The Colorado Supernet (csn.org). It's in /pub/net/zen as zen-1.0.txt. It's
choppy but fairly easy to clean up before printing.

There are several sites. Project Gutenberg is one. Zen is also
available (version 2) as a paperback book from Prentice-Hall, and
is very impressive.
Oh, Gutenberg is: ftp mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu
cd etext, and do a dir to see where.

Zen and the Art of the Internet has been published by
Project Gutenberg. It is available via anonymous
ftp to mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu (128.174.201.12).
Note that this is the public domain "version 1" of the
book, NOT the copyrighted commercial version recently
published by Prentice Hall.
Filename is pub/etext/etext92/zen10.txt (plain ASCII) or
pub/etext/etext92/zen10.zip (zipped ASCII)
To get there (if you don't already know): Use ftp to open
a connection to mrcnext. Usually, a command of this form:
ftp mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu
You should give the login name "anonymous" (without the
quotes! case sensitive! spelled correctly!). Give
your email address as a password.
Then, type:
cd pub/etext/etext92
and:
ascii
and:
get zen10.txt
(Note: if you get the zip version, type "binary" instead of
"ascii" above).
Enjoy! To find out more about Project Gutenberg electronic
texts, read the monthly newsletter in Pacs-L.
