There is a list on this website, inaddition to using the search function:
https://www.unix.com/where-do-i-download-linux-and-unix-/?s=
Also, if you have a slow connection (i.e. dialup), or don't have a CD burner, it might be better to buy a copy. You can get some with instruction books at places like Borders or Barnes and Nobles. If you want the software alone, check out www.cheapbytes.com . They have excellent prices.
