Instead of installing Linux on your machine I would go for trying to boot Linux Live CD. It helps me to learn Linux.

If you have a powerful enough system, you can also install Virtualbox, create a virtual machine, and install a Linux distro in it. Ubuntu and Linux Mint are both good options for a first dip into the Linux world due to ease of install.

If you haven't seen it, you may want to look at the Anandtech *nix Software forum here on the site.
