Any one know of a site where i can get my hands on a free version of Linux?

On pretty much any Unix/Linux development site.  Try mandrake.com, slackware.com, freebsd.com(.org maybe?), redhat.com, etc.

I'm not sure which ones are free, but most tend to be.  Also, this and the previous post should be split off and put somewhere else.

[Thing]

Redhat isn't free anymore.  The free version is now called Fedora and can be downloaded at:
http://fedora.redhat.com
Suse has a free version at:
http://www.suse.com/us/private/download/suse_linux/
You'll need a pretty fast connection to the internet for that one though

ThankYou

You can get mostly every free Linux distribution (and even FreeBSD) at http://www.linuxiso.org

If you're bent on using Linux I recommend trying Gentoo, it's pretty straightforward.  Uses a packaging system called "Portage", based on the FreeBSD ports and packages system. Compiles everything from source (meaning it takes a while), although you can tell it to download a pre-compiled binary if one is available. Follow the instructions here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml

Debian is a little easier to get setup, but it's not as customized as Gentoo.

My OS of choice is BSD, though, my brother bought me the OpenBSD CD's for Christmas and I have to say that this is the most secure OS that I've ever used .  You can connect it to the Internet right out of the box and it'll be fine.  Perfect mix of security and usability.

I'm a Mandrake fan for home user, and BSD for server. I'm a Windows fan for workstation, though.
