As mentioned above, Ubuntu is an excellent Linux distribution and extremely user friendly. If available disk space isn’t an issue, and you want to run Linux in parallel with Windows, I’d suggest installing VMware server (http://www.vmware.com/products/server/) on your Windows box and then you could install Ubuntu desktop as your "guest os" within VMware.
If disk space is an issue, and you just want to learn some unix/linux commands and shell scripting, you could install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.org/cygwin/) or Windows Services for UNIX (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=896C9688-601B-44F1-81A4-02878FF11778&displaylang=en).

You don’t download it. Run a shell if you need to interact with CLI.

a cli, is another name for a shell, for all intents and purposes.
If you want to learn unix command, download a "live cd" distro of any Linux product. http://www.ubuntu.com is a good place to go.
If you want "real unix" as opposed to a unix-like operating system, then go to http://opensolaris.com and download Opensolaris. If you want something in-between real unix and Linux, go for any of the BSD flavors like freebsd, netbsd, openbsd All you need to do is open a "terminal window" and you will be in a Command Line Interpreter.
Keep in mind, that although Unix is not a "bad" operating system in any sense of the word, it *is* declining in use/popularity due to the increasing usage of Linux. Linux is NOT Unix, but is *very, very* similar. If you are familiar with one, you will be comfortable in the other, although some commands vary slightly. (Think Windows 98 Vs. Windows XP)
