As already mentioned on this thread, GNS is really worth looking into.
I recently set it up and ran it under Linux and I was quite happy with it. It's a bit tricky to get going but I submit that if you can't get GNS working, you're _really_ going to struggle with Cisco.
As for the IOS files; you can get a huge collection of IOS files via bittorrent. Not that I'm advocating copyright violations but as long as this is strictly for education use with GNS I don't think Cisco would mind too much.
