Lets play with linux! Erm, where do I start?

[QUOTH]

Sorry, it's me again. Theres just so much I want to learn!

I'm a long time windows user. I've just installed Vista home premium on a partition on a new samsung 1tb hard drive. Whilst this is empty I'm toying with creating another partition and trying out linux for the first time. For fun.

I've never dual booted before [at least not on purpose anyway] and I've never lived with on installed any OS but windows.

So anything I need to do or take into account before I make the big leap? Any other options? Suggestions and reading material all welcome.


Vista Home Premium 32
nVidia GeForce 8600GTS EVGA
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dueal 5000+ 2.61GHz
4.00GB RAM Kingston DDR2 800MHz/pc2-6400 Hyperx Memory Nvidia SLI- Ready Unbuffered Cl4(4-4-4-12) Non-ECC 2.0v
Dell motherboard for E521

You should try the Operating Systems forum, should be a lot more help there.
