it is a free os provided by a cd!!
For free? As far as I know only Ubuntu does that but you can go to OSdisc.com to purchase numerous Linux distro at prices as low as $1.95 each.
That’s as good as free. Here’s the link:

Without high speed broad band Internet, your quest is for "free only" is nearly impossible. There over 300 Linux Distros, and counting.
I’m afraid that only Canonical is crazy (or brilliant) enough to do this. So, you could order Kubuntu as well, or you could try another method. If you’re unwilling to pay for shipping charges, and since virtually all major Distros are free to download, try this:
I would ask a friend to download one or two competing Distros and burn them for you. Assuming you are a Windows user and want to find a Linux that is somewhat similar, and fairly easy to use, I recommend Linux Mint or FreeSpire as a good starting point.
Later, you may want to evaluate Open Suse or Fedora.
TIP: You will eventually have have high-speed, so just take small steps for now.
