Scott, Though off topic from Alex's post, you should look at virtualization (under Windows I assume for you) as a great way to get at learning linux!
http://www.vmware.com/freedownload/login.php?product=server20 I have had great success with VMware. I think you can get Virtual Server now from Microsoft too for free, but I have never used it myself. VMWare has specific virtual machine template profiles for Linux virtual machines.

Sounds like a reasonable investment, but I would need assistance in installing OS on the drive. I can hold my own in the M$ world, but am just a "user" everywhere else. I have had one failed attempt after another to make a monthly gathering. I am always bouncing between north AL and Nashville. I imagine this will sell before I make it up there next, but I'll keep an eye out.
