You can download Linux from LQ ISO - see the link for "Download Linux" on the right of this page.
I suggest that you try Ubuntu Linux, which is an excellent distro for newbies. Your best bet is to set up a dual boot system, so you can try Linux and still have Windows available. Also, Ubuntu is a Live CD. This means that you can try it out without installing it - just boot your computer with the CD in.
