I cut my teeth on Corel's version of Linux years ago, and progressed to SuSE (which I now use). The reason I ask is that I am consistently asked for 'the easiest distro to install for a non-geek.' I've always felt that SuSE was pretty easy to install, but have read some glowing reviews of Linspire and Xandros.
