Forget gentoo for now, it's a bit too advance, if you've never handled a *nix machine before.
First check with Linux User's Group in your city for availability of whatever distro you like. Many LUG's have CD's available/CD's wanted section. Then if they don't have it/can't give it, you can order from shipit.ubuntu.com

You can also make a request here at the distro request thread and specify your location (not full address, just the city) and which distro you want.
