When I download a distro of Ubuntu, it downloads as a .zip file. How can I convert this (these) file/files to .iso so I can install it?

Should download as a .iso file ...

Then use any CD burner and burn as an iso image.

I clicked on your link and it says the wile is a WinZip file. I guess it is my computer and the file extension is .iso.

Sounds like you are on a windows machine ...and Winzip will allow you to associate .iso with their program so that you can extract the files.

In this case ... ignore the icon / file association in Windows and just leave the file as an .iso file and burn it straight to a CD with a CD burner application.
