Embedded Linux is like Linux, but sometimes with the capabilities of a microcontroller. Learn Linux on a normal PC, then find yourself a PIC toolkit that uses a C compiler and learn the MCU stuff on that.

If you want to play with Linux on the Arm, you can play with qemu. That way, you can emulate, for instance, an N8x0 tablet

The Beagle Board is a good DIY development board/environment for learning embedded Linux.
The board is relatively cheap ($149) and there is lots of community support, and lots of open source projects.

Not really an emulator, though...

No not an emulator at all. But probably the best way to learn embedded linux.

I suggest you use a VM. If hosted on Windows use the free VMWare Server for example and load your chosen distribution onto it.
