Ubuntu is a great place to start with Linux. Another great place to get most of the distros is www.distrowatch.com. On the right hand side is a list of the distro with its current download ranking. If you have high speed internet, you can download any of them. A majority of the distributions have a live CD/DVD option and all you have to do is burn to disk, restart and boot to the CD/DVD. This will let you play with the different distros with out actually installing anything. With Ubuntu 8.04.1, you get an install option within the live boot, or (and this is new to me), within Windows (I am using Vista on my laptop), you can go to my computer, and double-click on the cd/dvd drive. Ubuntu gives you a windows installer that actually installs Ubuntu and when you reboot, you get the option of booting to Windows(Vista in my case)or Ubuntu. And depending on your laptop, you can find help on the different forums.
