This is a recurring question. Hopefully some kind soul will give you the
standard party line. I'm tired of doing it, so I'll limit myself to my
personal opinions. If no one replies, check the uug-list archives.

The best distro to use while you're starting is what ever your friend is
using. The major ones here are Redhat, Gentoo, Debian, and *BSD. (Did I
leave anybody out?) Once you feel comfortable with Linux, the best thing
to do is read a little bit about the distro on the site itself, install
it, kick the tires, move on if you don't like it. Discover for yourself
what the differences are and you'll learn more as well as come to
appreciate your distro of choice (whatever it be) more than if you just
take my word for it.
