Need your advise for which version ?

Hi ... I'm new when it comes to using a computer , I have in the last few years kind of learn Windows xp but I find that Microsoft is ripping people off with their operating system and I would very much like to try to learn Unix operating system , so far all I know about Linux/Unix its totally different from using windows , Which is why I am here asking use's , So what type of operating system would better be for me , I don't use a computer for work wise ways , I just want something for surfing/Tunes and stuff like that , pretty much the basic , So which is the closest to windows style or easiest to use ? thanks

I would recommend Mandrake now known as Mandrivia for beginners.
