The place to start is with some LiveCDs like knoppix, quantian (DVD),
mepis, kanotix and so on
http://www.frozentech.com/content/livecd.php
Dowload one of the CDs, burn the CD, and then
boot up from the CD (Set the bios to boot from CD
if it doesn't boot like that).
Then voila, you have GNU/Linux running on your PC.
Its completely automatically configured without
need for drivers or for you to do anything.

by try different LiveCDs and read the documentation.
You can run up konqueror and type man:mount for example
to pull up manuals on how to set the read write permissions to disk.
man:dd for how to copy disks, man:bash for the console, etc.
Also, try installing - thats simple with LiveCDs like Mepis,
but can become challenging for others.
