The closest you are going to find to most commercial Unixes is probably going to be the *BSDs such as Free/Open/NetBSD. Free and NetBSD have ISOs available for download. OpenBSD must be installed either from FTP (free) or from CD-ROM (purchased).
You can also download Solaris x86 version 8 for $20 from Sun. That's not too shabby for a commercial Unix.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
debget
DEBGET(1) Debian-goodies documentation DEBGET(1)
NAME
debget - Fetch a .deb for a package in APT's database
SYNOPSIS
debget package [package ...]
DESCRIPTION
debget fetches a .deb for one or more packages from an Debian mirror. It uses apt-get(1) to find out the URL so it will download the same
version from the same server as apt-get would do. The .deb will be downloaded with curl(1) and stored in your current working directory.
KNOWN BUGS
debget will not work for packages that are available in apt-get's cache. If you need that functionality please use the .download option in
aptitude.
