Ubuntu is probably the most popular Linux that's now also bundled with some dell Computers.
To get Ubuntu in India, you can either download the 700Mb installer from Ubuntu official website or, if you are on a slow Internet, Ubuntu will ship the installer CD to your home for free.
To request a free Ubuntu CD, just create a launchpad account and the CD will be in your mailbox in a week or two. shipit.ubuntu.com
Other than Ubuntu you can also ask for the pressed copies of Kubuntu, and Edubuntu CDs free of charge. Unfortunately, Ubuntu DVDs, that have some extra software, can only be procured from amazon store which are not shipping to India yet.
These are Live Ubuntu CDs meaning you can even use Ubuntu without installing them on your windows computer. Just pop the Ubuntu CD into your computer, and reboot - Ubuntu will run from the CD.

I don't know that Ubuntu was shipping free Cd's, but it is great and amazing , I have got some CD and book from national instruments and they from some other big company on united states, but it is great that a distribution of Linux have a free CD too, I think it is not just for India, you can request the CD from the Ubuntu web site, but you have to be registered before, you know that Microsoft ship fee CD but only for north America, I have heard that Ubuntu is a south African company but I am not sure, I am wonder to know from where they will shipping, I hope to get my distribution soon, I have used Ubuntu before and it is great, and come with Mozilla Firefox, it is my favorite web browser, I am using it all the day and never crash or get spyware, it rooks.
