Since you're asking, you're obviously kinda new to the Linux world.  My best
suggestion is to go to your local bookstore, and purchase a "how-to" book
on Linux.  Most of the best-written ones these days com complete with a 
cd-rom or two that will allow you to select between several distributions
for installation.  My personal preference is slackware, which is installed
on both desktops and will be installed on the laptop if I ever manage to locate
a new power supply for it (Canon..bleh...)

Alternate method, if you don't have a cd-rom, or don't care to shuck out the
cash, is to use ftp and head over to either ftp.cdrom.com, or
sunsite.unc.edu...
be advised, though...Sunsite is about as slow as a server can get...about the
same as transferring files with a 14.4 modem of late (which is too danged
slow.)

Hope this answers your question and points you in the right direction.
