Have a look at http://www.linx.org for an overview. You can download Linux from
your closest sunsite mirror, but it is better to get a CD.  I suggest getting
something like the Infomagic 6 CD set, which gives you a few different
distributions you can try.

You posted in an aus group, so I asume you are here in Australia.  I got my
Infomagic set from Laserbaud by mail order, have a look at
http://www.laserbaud.com.au  

I installed Slackware over a year ago, if I was installing again I'd pick
RedHat.
