Nearly all linux distros require linux for updating the repositories

Get ubuntu if you're new to linux. I'm using it atm..

install yourself a linux OS on your desktop and learn all its basic commands
you will be capable of managing vps afterwards

There are many intricacies in handling a VPS server be Linux or Windows. You need to know about webhosting,Forum setup, managing performance and disk space and management of webserver/Database and server itself. If you are new to infrastructure management it is no cup of cake handling them and it would take some quality time to learn them.
Solutions are available on the net but you must first understand your problems and then searching for the right solutions.90% of the time identifying the issue is the major hurdle and only a seasoned professional can do it quickly

learn how to ssh and install WHM/Cpanel, and you'll learn stuffs you need as you use your vps, google is so much useful.

you can try installing virtual linux on your PC and testdrive (which I'm planning to do ), or buy a lowend vps box for testing and learning.
