If you want to try Linux straight away, there's one really great solution, install the OS on a USB drive (incidentally this can be done for XP too, should you decide you don't need it that much on your new machine).

I haven't tried doing this with Ubuntu (though a quick search indicates it can be done: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2007/09/21/usb-ubuntu-704-persistent-install/), but I have put Slax on a USB drive (http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2006/09/20/all-in-one-usb-slaxzip), which was very easy to set up.
