There are many distros of Linux and most people have their favourites - there is no clear *best* linux as such. Try knoppix - this can run off the cd so you do not have to install it to try it out. You can get that here. Then you can go for one of the other flavours like Fedora, Slackware, SuSE.. just take your pick.
