Go to distrowatch, read about the different distributions and download it. Go to Google, look for their websites. Burn the ISO to a DVD, and follow the instructions.

If you had tried, you could have found all this through Google, and on this site, where this question has been answered MANY times.

Pick anything in the top ten** on their "hit list"---go to the website for the distro, and follow instructions for download.

**except that Arch is not typically recommended for inexperienced users
