	If you want to try Linux without affecting your computer permanently, all you need is to obtain a "live-on" cd such as [http://www.knoppix.org/ Knoppix]. You can either download it from their site and burn it, get a friend to, or buy it. Then when you boot off this cd-rom it will load the image into [[RAM]]. It won't delete anything you have on your harddrive. At any time you can decide you want to just got back to the operating system on your hard drive by taking out the cd, or you might want drop knoppix from cd onto your harddrive so it is a lot faster and more customizable. Or you might want to move onto a common distribution.

Linux is a UNIX-clone. It tries to do everything the same or better than the Unix you can buy. Oh did I mention it was sorta-free? Yeah you can change its freely available source code but then you have to share all your pretty changes with the world. This is because of the GNU license. Linux is still somewhat cool because you can read its source and learn off it.
