I suggest you consider Redhat 5.2 with the APC Linux pocketbook.  at $15 its
pretty cheap, and though the pocketbook isn't perfect for newbies like us,
with a little extra online help you can get going.

The installation itself went off without a hitch for me, an I now happily
run a dual boot system with Win95 and Linux.  Linux has a boot loader called
LiLo and it just gives you the option at boot time between OSs.

Hope this helps.
