Are you a windows die hard? or have you been one? Are you looking forward to giving linux a try? Well the the best transition distro, according to me anyway, is Ubuntu. I didn't know what i was missing until i gave it a go and am really liking it! I am dual-booting Windows Vista and Ubuntu (with Vista installed first). I tell you it's fun. After a quick decision you can go to the link provided and make your way through. See you @the terminal$ :)
