I found one CD which says SCO UNIX Open Server. Can i use install this on that computer? Thanks
I would say no.  SCO UNIX is very old and hasn't been updated in a very long time (it's also a quirky/odd operating system).  Download a fresh copy of Ubuntu (my choice) or CentOS as Shiju suggests.  You'll be much happier.
k. Just want to make sure this is the right web site to download centos

http://www.centos.org/download/

Thanks
Yes, it is.
