Well if you know nothing about unix/linux, I would start by welcoming you here, I believe you will learn a lot...
My advice would be to go for a live CD/DVD FIRST, like knoppix, then play around with it...
This will avoid the mess up you PC...
Once you feel yourself confident enough for the great leap, I suppose you would be back here asking us about dual boot alternatives...
I suppose you would need to get some utilities like partition magic first in order to free disk space for unix/linux filesystems (but there I could be wrong, I havent followed in WIN stuff...).
