I'm looking at this whole conversation and debating setting up a *nix install on my system. The only OS I've really known is Windows (some experience with Macs, but I just don't like the navigation).

I want to get into web design and development, and a LAMP seems to get tossed around pretty frequently as a good thing to have. The irony is, despite my interest in learning the languages and standards, I've never been very good when it comes to things like setting up an OS.

Anyone have advice on a good starting point? Currently using a laptop with Vista Professional, 64-bit.
