Defrag your XP system. If you have about 10 gig of free space then you should have enough room to install any linux.

start of your distribution research.
You can run a live cd which lets you test drive linux without installing on your system. Downside is live cds run slooow because they run from cd.
I'll recommend Knoppix as a live cd and Mandriva Linux for a harddrive install.

You need to verify the sha1 or md5 checksum before burning to verify you have a good download.
