Ideas:
Cygwin - Not Linux, but you get some functionality.
JEAH.net - They appear to have FreeBSD shell accounts via SSH, but I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for. They provide virtual servers.
Serverpronto.com - They have a cheap dedicated server option, and you can decide on different versions of Linux. You can also access via SSH.
VMWare - Commercial virtual PC program. You can have a virtual PC, and install Linux as if you were installing on a new computer. They also have a Linux version, so if you make the leap you can use the Linux version and run Windows in the virtual PC.
Add a HDD - Add a HDD, install Linux on that, and dual-boot.
Use a LiveCD - Find a Live distribution, download the ISO, make a CD. Get a USB mass storage device to save changes.
Old PC - Buy an old crappy PC, install a NIC (if it doesn't have one), and install Linux on it. If you don't have a home network, make one. I'm assuming you use broadband. If the old PC has a Winmodem but no NIC, swap out the Winmodem to save slots.
