1. Get an install CD
2. Place in the CD drive
3. Reboot and follow the instructions

Install CDs are available in many ways: Magazines, mail order (Google using "linux CD"), websites for major distibutions, User groups, and more.

This will give you LOTS of ideas on getting started--including links to where to get a CD:

ROTFL!!

Wow, you should get an award for this!
Incredible.

You might want to include the easylinux-installer thing. It makes setting up even easier. The link is in my signature.

---edit---
I realized this might sound sarcastic. It's not. Great job. It's just that I've never seen such a n00b-proof walkthrough.
