Ubuntu is free, you can download it, or even request a cd: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download.

There are hundreds of different linux distributions, ubuntu is just one of them (the one of the best for sure ;)

The most recent version of ubuntu is 7.04, the 6.10 is still supported, so it's ok.

Documentation, including setting up the internet can be found online:
https://help.ubuntu.com/

If you need some help with this, or the basic procedure doesn't work, feel free to ask, but please provide some details of what you've tried and what hardware do you have.

umm try ubuntuguide.org if your having problems but if you bought the cd then you got ripped off and getting internet is the same on linux as on windows

Can you help with this problem?
