I would suggest Distrowatch like the other 2 post.
But don't forget most Linux distro's are free. So download the most popular and if you don't like it, try the next on the list. Could take a few times until you find one you like. It's personal preference most the time for what people use.

DESCRIPTION
Spectool is a tool to expand and download sources and patches from specfiles.
