If you're new to Linux, I'd suggest you go with one of the more 
established distros.  My favorite is SuSE, but Red Hat, Mandrake or 
Debian are good choices as well.  I've not done an install of Debian of 
late, but the last time I did, I did not find it as easy going as Suse, 
Red Hat or Mandrake.
