I'd recommend Ubuntu too. But if you're just looking to fiddle about, try running it in under VMWare for a while. You can try the desktop or server versions, running full installs or you could download and run a pre-built appliance. You can also try the cut down JeOS version that is designed to run a server edition inside a virtual environment:

Going down the VMWare path allows you to bugger it up a few times and start again without too much hassle.
Hope that helps.
I bet he's been waiting since february, just to hear that checking up on this thread ever so often :dabs:
Or not.
And also: DSL and/or knoppix ftw.
