Hello.

The "how to" is explained clearly in the manual page for find. What, specifically, do you mean with "specifically"?

With respect to where you can download Linux, the answer is - lots of places. Where, might depend on which one you want.

Google "download <distribution name goes here>" and you shall find. Did you have a specific use-case in mind, or are just speaking generally?

	      Simply download the specified version and exit.

       -d DEBIAN_MIRROR, --debian-mirror=DEBIAN_MIRROR
	      Use  the	specified  mirror.   Should  be  in  the  form	http://ftp.debian.org/debian.	If the package isn't found on this mirror,

CONFIGURATION VARIABLES

       variable takes precedence over the package-wide variable.
