Well, if you buy a Mac, you'll probably like OSX, IMHO (I'm using an old PowerBook as I type, so I'm probably a little biased lol), but if you prefer a PC, you might want to download a LiveCD version of Ubuntu, or just about any other distro which may interest you. With LiveCDs you can give Linux a test run without actually installing the OS into your machine.

If you're not familiar with Macs and have an opportunity to visit an Apple Store before buying, you'd probably be wise to go and have a look before buying, just to make sure you'd be interested in OSX. Good luck and happy hunting.
