If you can spare an old machine, or even just use VMWare on a new
machine, it would behoove you to have a separate linux machine for
playing around in. Linux is pretty hard to get into a totally unusable
state if you know what you're doing when you run into problems, but you
don't want to find out you don't know what you're doing when you really
need to use your PC and it's broken.
I'll echo Martin here, it's worth it to learn this stuff, even if you
only use Windows everywhere else, you'll understand it a whole lot
more. And there are few things as satisfying as: "If I had my linux
machine on me I could fix this in 5 minutes, but since I don't, I guess
we'll have to reload Windows". I just got a new Lenovo T61 with Windows
Vista Ultimate, and after a week of trying it out, I had to get back
into Ubuntu. It really is that much better (although I'm still waiting
for a good Hold 'em game like what came with ultimate). Unfortunately
for MS, it's going to take more than a good poker game to keep them
attractive in the age of Ubuntu!
