If you want to compile a new kernel, download the latest source code from www.kernel.org. If you are looking for a Linux distribution, look at LQ iso or distrowatch.com.

If you want to install the OS there's lots of different distributions that will give you different initial setups. distowatch.com is a good resource to find out about about the distributions. The details for installation will vary depending on what distro you pick to use, but the general process will be to burn the image files (such as what's found at the 2nd link colucix gave you) to a CD and install off that.
