Search this newsgroup and/or google for a live CD distribution. The
advantage is that you can simply boot from the cdrom *and* never
touch the underlying hard drive, and find your way into linux.
It'll be somewhat slow, but you'll get a taste of the linux
experience. Knoppix and Ubuntu have such, and I think SUSE and
Mandrake have them as well.
Seems to be all the rage these days...
