Andy, 
Try this interview form... it asks simple enough
questions and encourages a distro based on your
answers:

Some distros are more involved like Arch, Gentoo, etc.
whereas some are more "canned" like Fedora, Ubuntu. 
In North America, there are domestic car models and
import/foreign ones.  As these are two choices in
cars, there are at least two major "chasis" choices in
Linux: Debian & RPM-based.  A future option for a
newbie might be to compile a program or programs on
their box, but this is more involved.

Check out this page as well after install of your
distro:
