The only distribution I've tried (other than
RHEL 3 and 4 on my servers) are Ubuntu Linux.
You can find it and download it for free here
www.ubuntu.com
It's a very good start to Linux for beginners (like me..
), but it's also good for more experienced Linux users as well.
It comes with several very useful and good aplications like Open Office (Full MS office support), Firefox, E-mail, music/video/mp3 players, image editors like the Gimp, and lots (hundreds) of other programs that you easily can install yourself.

Ubuntu is a free, open source Linux-based operating system that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear focus on the user and usability (it should "Just Work", TM) and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of support for every release (and with 6.06 LTS you get 3 years on the desktop and 5 on the server!). Ubuntu ships with the latest GNOME release as well as a selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience off a single installation CD.

If you prefer KDE over GNOME you could try Kubuntu:

Anyone else who has tried Ubuntu Linux??
I like it very much myself, and have installed it on both my stationary and portable PC..
