Other than Ubuntu’s ShipIt! Program How do you get Linux Live CDs/DVDs/USBs?

Yeah I was trying to get the Mandriva One software but I almost downloaded it to my hard drive. I’m very confused about how this all works. Do you download it to a CD? Do you have to actually go out and buy a CD? Can you get a CD for free? I know I know there are a lot of questions here but I’m really new to this and need help!

Which linux, Ubuntu or Mandriva…i am a complete novice?

i have been looking at loading Linux on my 3 pc’s at home, basically for security purposes, i know there is little risk of a virus and hacker etc, i find microsoft bloatware slows down too easily as with any antivirus slows down a pc, so i have downloaded a few live cd and have narrowed it to ubuntu or Mandriva, i want the easiest to use and find all my drivers for, i am initially going to do it on my laptop and then follow suit with the desktops when i am up to speed with it, which is better, Ubuntu or Mandriver, remember i am a complete novice with linux

Whats the easiest version of Linux to learn from?

For someone beginning Linux from 15+ years of windows, what would be the best version of Linux to learn? Ubuntu/ Fedora/ Mandriva aren’t options due to driver conflicts with my installed Graphics card.
Though the live cds run from windows and look great, i cant get to the graphics end on boot up. the screen glows bluish black and theres nothing…

Any recommendations?
