My few suggestions (I have starting looking at Haskell just a year or
so ago and never used it very intensivly)
Download Hugs it's somewhat nicer to work with.
There are two books available for Haskell
Haskell The Craft of Functional Programming (author: Simon Thompson)
and
The Haskell School of Expression (learning functional prorgramming
through Multimedia Paul Hudak.
I tend to recommend the later. It's IMHO a bit better written, but of
course YMMV.

all the Haskell compilers and/or Intepreters work more on Linux, at
lest I was able to get install them here ;-)
Other languages woth a look
OCAML (too a functional language) but comes with more utilities (e.g
with a debugger, there is not debugger available for Haskell AFAIK)
Common Lisp (nice development environements, extremly flexible)
Smalltalk (off topic here, I think)
