Converting an old windows vista system to Unix

I have an old Dell system that I would like to convert over to a Unix system and I have no idea how to do this. Where can I go to get the information to do this. This will be a secondary computer that I will learn and "play" with. I have heard that it is fairly easy to do and that once I get used to the Unix environment I will want to trash all my windows system. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
