You can do an Internet search for it. There are several available. One notable one comes as a zip file, you unzip and "image copy" to a memory chip. When the chip boots, you get a menu offering a series Linux OSes, recently puppy Linux has joined the list of choices.

The winning bidder should keep an eye out for two free bonus items I am putting in the box.

I will also share some Rasp Pi e-books with the winning bidder, or provide with a link so they can download them for free as I did.

Essentially, your intended use will guide your OS choice. For instance, last July I had a pi setup with XBMC running under Linux and about 3 Terabyte drive with movies.

Also note it's a ARM processor so you are limited to Linux based Distros.

As a BONUS, I am going to include En Ocean Pi 315. It came from Element14.com. The description on the box reads, "Raspberry Pi based gateway for energy harvesting wireless networks". It looked interesting to me when I bought it, but I don't know any more about it.
