That depends on the distribution of Linux you choose. There are many different distributions each with its own latest release. Some of the distributions of Linux (e.g. RedHat) have different versions depending on whether you want a workstation or a server. Other distributions have one version that can be used on a server or a workstation which is chosen at the time of installation.

I'm not sure I follow your question but maybe if you take a look here Linux Online - Distributions and FTP Sites you might find your answer.
