Hi Stuart,
In addition to the helpful advice other people on the list
have already given I'd also say it might be easier for you
to obtain a linuxdistro from a linux-related magazine. There's
quite a few around now in the UK, for instance,
http://www.linuxuser.co.uk
http://www.linuxformat.co.uk
are both available from most newsagents, and usually come
with a CD or two on the cover that often contains a
linuxdistro plus a load of other utilities. The magazines
themselves also contain tutorials + more useful info to get
you started.
If you don't have a CD-writer and only a slow internet
connection (56k) then this might be the way to go.
Regards
Ken

ps: Dixons recommending Linux ? Wow, I'm impressed :-)
