Try out Dreamlinux shown above. It is based on debian so it will have lots of pre-packaged softwares. It also has some non-free softwares out of the box, which are needed by home users.

Breaking News:

1)Linux Kernel hackers offering hardware companies free driver development
That's right, the Linux kernel community is offering all companies free Linux driver development. No longer do you have to suffer through all of the different examples in the Linux Device Driver Kit, or pick through the thousands of example drivers in the Linux kernel source tree trying to determine which one is the closest to what you need to do.

2) Cool new Beryl features...
Beryl's new *3D* animations!

Here is another excellent tutorial...

There are many reasons people are hesitant to try Linux. The biggest of these reasons is that installing Linux generally requires people to do a list of difficult and unfamiliar tasks. However, The following article is going to introduce “virtualization” which is a fancy term for running Linux like any other program in Windows. The article will guide you through the process of setting up Linux so you can run it like any other program in Windows.

Don’t be intimated, these directions are designed for the absolute beginner and will not require you to do anything unfamiliar, threatening, or permanent to your computer. When you are finished you will be able to run Linux like any other program in Windows and share files between Linux and Windows.

Beginner’s Guide: Run Linux like any other program in Windows

(I've noticed Linux persons get less reps than Windows guys. Just my observation. Don't take it seriously)
