Never used Linux though but it is considered tough than Windows and that's why it is not so popular. But now bcoz of its reliability and security people are taking it seriously!
But still I don't know anything about linux! Can anyone pls tell about its hardware requirements etc...??? If it is freeware, is there any way to download it?

Some distributions are freeware like Debian, Gentoo, Slackware, Ubuntu etc.
The requirements are somewhat like Windows (ofter lower).
Of the above mentioned,
Ubuntu is the easiest to get started with. You could also try
Knoppix. Knoppix doesn't need to be installed you boot off the CD. That way you can try it out before installing and make up your own mind about it.
*edit*
Just check out the screenshots I posted earlier in this thread.
