Step 3: Download the images
If you've steeled yourself for the lengthy download, you can often find ISO images on the vendor's Web site and on numerous mirror sites. LinuxISO.org does a good job of collecting in one place links to ISO images for major distributions.
Once you've downloaded the files, you can burn them to CDs. We used Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.0, initiating the process by choosing File > "Record CD from CD image," then browsing to the correct file.
You may see MD5 files or values posted with the ISO images. These let you verify the accuracy of your downloaded image file using a checksum utility.
