This is a recommendation only, but here's what I think you should do:

Get on eBay, and buy yourself a used PC, 500 MHz - 1 GHz, 128 MB RAM, a 40 GB 
HDD, an Ethernet card and a cd-rom drive. Spend maybe $150.

While you're online, order a copy of the FreeBSD 5.2 (or 4.9) CD set. Spend 
another $40.

Once you get your PC and CD set, install FreeBSD - it's pretty simple, even if 
you don't know shit from butterbeans.

This may cost a bit more, but avoids the risk of breaking your trusty Windows 
box, while giving you an opportunity to experiment & make mistakes while you 
learn FreeBSD/Unix. And you will learn...
