And the Lord said unto Moses thou shalt use Linux to defeat the plague of Windows that is currently befalling your network!
Jim my recommendation to you is try to get hold of this months PC Pro. It has a live evaluation copy of Mandrake Move on the cover. All you do is boot from the CD Rom and it loads the complete OS into RAM. It doesnt touch your hard drive. You can play around with it and get to see if you like Linux. If you dont you just reboot PC and remove CD from drive with no changes made to your hard drive. From there you can look at doing permanent installs. I would recommend the following
1. Mandrake
2. Suse
3. Red Hat
You should be able to find images for those three OS' on many of the cover disks of magazines like LinuxFormat or LinuxDeveloper. Another option is to buy ready burnt CD's fromeBay retailers. This is a good place to get a copy of Linux distrowatch.com
Hope that helps!
