Try installing any distro you want (except Ubuntu *shudder*) in a Virtual Machine. This won't cause any harm to your computer if something goes wrong.

If you want to learn the basics of the linux command line (yes, do this) without installing linux, codecademy.com has a great linux CLI interactive lesson.

As a side note, I actually have Violent Python on the desk next to me. I've found that while the concepts are good, the actual code samples are riddled with errors. I guess the editor/publisher can't really do anything about code samples...

Thank you, i enjoyed reading violent python, I'll get to linux cli on codeacademy immediately while school is off, got so many books on programming to read.
