I've been using Linux at home, work and Uni for probibly the best part 
of four years, pretty much all RedHat/Fedora and a little of others for 
'fun'. Anyway, I'd recomend, to you as a newbie that you jump right in 
the deep-end.

Get Fedora and dual boot it with WinXP, there shouldn't be too many 
problems but having a box that doesn't work is going to annoy the hell 
out of anyone. Also if you don't get Fedora working, you might need to 
email us for help :)

Make sure that you have some way of contacting someone who can fix Linux 
stuff - I think that's probibly the best advice *I* can give.

Hope that helps.
