For people who have been wanting to try to install Linux for awhile but haven't known how to start or don't have a bootable CD drive, etc Debian has a Windows based installer. All you have to do is go to goodby-microsoft.com and run the Windows executable. The installer then downloads what you need and sets you up with the main Debian installer. Apparently, there is also a similar program for Ubuntu.
I haven't tried either of these yet, but it seems like a good idea. Great for an old Windows machine without a CD burner (last time I checked a Debian disc set was a couple DVDs or half a dozen CDs).
I would recommend you start with knoppix or some other livecd (Internet Freedom Disc if you prefer) first, to get used to Linux though.
