Hi Vishnu,
If you are looking for a good User Interface SUSE would be the way to go.Even Redhat is good.With respect to avilablity of CD's maybe you could drop in to one of the Getogethers that the group has and carry a couple of blank cd's, people in the group would be happy to help you with the media.
Regards, Santhosh
