I'm sure you know this site but maybe check out distrowatch.com .. it'll rank
the top linux distros', do reviews, press release new OS's that come out, etc..
Each Linux distro will have it's pro's and cons, many people start with either
Ubunut or Mint as they are very simple to install (easier than Windows) and the
GUI will feel very familiar.  The great thing about Linux, on an extra test
box, is you can't mess it up!

I feel you on Linux being "foreign" at times, however once you dig into it it's
really not much harder than Windows and both have their advantages /
disadvantages.  With Linux I just love the freedom of open source and the sheer
level of customization one can do with their own setup.  The community, help,
support is also top notch.
