Many flavours to pick from. I prefer FreeBSD, but it's not something I'd recommend for a beginner. Check out Open SUSE

http://software.opensuse.org/developer/en

I've installed several machines with various 11.x versions and have been happy with all of them; including a full desktop version on my netbook.

Thnx for the answer but i have smthng more to ask.
The open suse is programm running from windows like emulator? Or it is OS?

It's a complete Linux (UNIX-like) operating system. If you do a full install, you'll wipe out windows.
