My suggestion is the learn-by-doing route. If you're not using FOSS 
alternatives on your current platform, why not? That's very likely what 
you'll be using if you jump into Linux, so lessen the transition 
headache by getting accustomed to them now. To some this may seem 
obvious, but I thought I'd say it anyway.
