I totally agree with Staticia because I've been there, done that. Linux will work from a command line on a 486, but you won't learn much until you are able to run Gnome, KDE or the like (unless your a lot smarter than I am--which actually isn't much of a stretch.) I suggest you upgrade to something a little more potent. Memory is important to any GUI and the GUI'S that run on Linux are no exception. You need at least a reasonably fast Pentium or its equivalent and 64 meg of ram, and then you might want to upgrade your RAM. (Not all that expensive these days unless you have to run SIMMS.) A lot of people duel boot, but I have found it easier to play with a dedicated linux box. You will probably mess things up pretty badly at first and will want to start over from scratch which is much less stressful on a dedicated Linux box.
Have Fun.
