Debian
For anyone new to gnu linux. don't feel you are limited to using Ubuntu because of its easy installation and ease of use.
Debian has never been easier to install. The Debian Lenny release I think is the slickest Debian release yet.
If you can manage to install Ubuntu, you can install Debian Lenny. If you are new and like how easy the Ubuntu desktop is to use, you will be surprised at how easy Debian has become. Debian just takes a little longer to install with the net install disc.
I have found the new Debian to be a first class distro. Very smooth, everything works the way it should, with no tweaking.
Debian Forever.
