All public-release distros of Linux should essentially be free as per the GPL licence - When buying boxed copies, it'll be for the support & documentation.
Check the websites of distros - Each should have ISOs available for download.
Any Linux distro can run on that, it will run very well too.Quote:

Mandrake has free ISOs, http://linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=29
BTW, I wrote a guide about finding linux CDs, search for it, i'm pressed for bandwith ATM.
I belive it was called "Obtaining Linux CDs"
EDIT:
@ Illuminati - Red Hat isn't that Open Source, IMO.
all the mandrake links dunt work
/me slaps neotheone about a bit with a rather large trout. :smilie4:
cd 1
cd 2
cd 3
there are mirror ftp sites there and also a bitorent link at the top. they should be pretty quick to download especially if you use a download manager and download off multiple sources.
I recently got suse 9.2 which i think is a pretty fantastic distro. first time i have ever had to just click yes about 5 times to install linux. i have a site with working isos and ftp server if you want it pm me since its not really legal.
