I still have I think 10 Ubuntu install CD's and 10 liveCD's. You can run it off the live CD jsut like Knoppix, or actually install it to the harddrive. I also have 5 64-bit versions but they won't work on your older machine. If you'd like to keep your Windows install and dual boot you can do that as well, and just choose which OS you want to load at boot up. That's what I did. I am a Linux n00b as well, and Ubuntu is definetly a good beginner choice.
