you can download virtualbox here: https://www.virtualbox.org You will want to download the ubuntu iso from their website ( www.ubuntu.com ) right now, you would probably want 12.04 as ROS Indigo isn't released yet.

http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Ubuntu-on-VirtualBox here is a tutorial on how to create a virtual machine and install ubuntu on it. After you have installed ubuntu, go the the main ros website and follow the installation guide for ubuntu (it is much more straight forward than the windows instructions) and enjoy!
