Ubuntu is a very good distro for a newbie. One of the simplest installs that I have ever seen. However, you might want to look at xandros as well, as ive been hearing that's its also a good introductory distro. Or, if your pc is about mid-range, (anything over 600 mhz) you might want to try a live cd first, like knoppix or slax (<- I love this one!) or even ubuntu, as it also comes in a live cd.
