I'm Linux challenged, and don't even know how to install it.Well, I do know how to install it, but if surfing the net and email is all I use a computer for, WHY install Linux?

Why install linux at all?
Security. Much better in-built resistance to those bad bugs, viruses, and worms that can infect and destroy your surfing and emailing fun.
But maybe even that is not enough . . .

If all I do is drive my car, why use a seatbelt?
Email and web is the #1 place to get junk installed behind the scenes on a Windows-based computer. Linux is a great way to prevent that from happening. Don't let the name Linux scare you either. Ubuntu is a great place to start getting to know it. Once you learn how to use it, you probably won't use Windows very much after.
