To add a little for you. There are many companies that sell "Linux", such as well knowen ones like Red Hat, Mandrake, and SuSe. To Lesser knowen ones, like Slackware, Debian, and Gentoo. All of them use the Linux kernel. They just basicly package it to their own taste and sell it, or offer it for free.

And one more thing. Not to scare you off, but if you want to try Linux, you will need to read!!! And then maybe read some more. It isn't that is harder to use than M$ or Mac. It's just different. And the only way to learn is to read and try.
