You can download it for free from various sites, or buy it at a software
store for anywhere from $30 to $100 (this way you get the CD).  Make sure
you get the latest version - it seems to change almost bi-weekly.

You don't need a strong programming background to use it - but it depends on
what you want to do with it.  It is an operating system - not a language in
itself.  The programming/procedure languages used with it are Pearl, C++,
scripts, etc.  You will need to be technically inclined to install it as it
doesn't seem that too many people have
installed it without having some problems.
