Internationally:
Linux can be bought all over the world in bookstores and over the net. usually you will be able to find the "official" packages on the websites of the corresponding companies' webpages, or go to sites like LSL (http://www.lsl.com), Cheap*Bytes (http://www.cheapbytes.com/) or Linux Mall (http://www.linuxmall.com) for a cheaper deal.

 Downloading it yourself
IGLU's own server (http://iglu.org.il/mirrors.html) offers ISO images and seperate files to download your own distributions and burn on a CD, remember these files are 640 megs each though, the above options may be cheaper and more conveniant. Note that everything is available through ftp, http and rsync. We currently have:

* Debian (A complete i386 mirror, and ISOs)
* Mandrake (ISOs, updates, contents of the ISOs)
* Redhat (i386 and docs: ISOs, updates, fiels and SRPMs)
* Slackware (i386 ISOs)

Distributions availble on our server include RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE (the "demo" edition - a full-functioning system) and others.
