The problem with answering the Linux question is that there are so many different distributions, and so many different ways to use a computer. I recommend you use the Linux Distribution Chooser (http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/)........ This will ask you a series of questions in many different areas, after which a few distributions will be recommended. I think you will be better served by the Distubution Chooser than if each of us just recommends our favorite flavor of Linux.

Download an .iso image, burn the image to CD, put the CD in your drive, restart PC.
However, I would get a Live CD first and test drive a few distributions to see which you like the look/feel of. The OS will run from the CD and nothing will be installed on your PC, but it will run a little slower.

www.linux.org has a list and link to any distro of Linux you want. If you want to try it before you do a full install go with any Live CD version, Ubuntu and Knoppix are the most common and user friendly out there. Once you have tried them you can also do a full install of the Live CD.
