It is very easy to try Linux out on your machine, there are several distrobustions that supply a live cd. What this allows you to do is boot of the CD to try the system out. If you like it you would need to repartition your hard drive and make room for Linux to be installed.
Personally I will suggest you to try Ubuntu (currently is 7.10), which is easy to use and have a lot of eyes candy stuff.
If you need any help, there are many topic going around at the web, so just search, so not too hard to learn.
Just download the live CD and try it out, if you like it, then only install it.
