You can get Linux distributions: think tweaked versions, that will run from something like a DVD or memory stick, though don't require full installation on a pc. That way you can try them out, without tons of effort.

Otherwise you could potentially get a pc to dual boot, where you could have your windows operating as well as a Linux OS both installed on it. You could then run either of them, depending upon what you'd like to use.

It depends on the distro you use some are easier than others, personally i prefer the Redhat based ones, like CentOS, if your new to Linux Ubuntu is your best bet, but be warned getting Microsoft apps to run under Linux can be tricky for a newbie, as you have to use an emulator, Ubuntu is also good as you can dual boot it with windows. However if you just want to try it and see if you like it is the live CD images as you can just use that boot from it have a play, shut it down, remove the CD and your windows install is unaffected

Go for dual boot if you feel up to it otherwise go for a usb drive for a taster. Mint is also worth considering
