Also keep an idea on some of the mainstream computer mags. They tend to put at least one of the distro's on the cover every month or two. (Sometimes the newsagents have them cheap in the surplus bin).
As said by another, Ubuntu, is a very good 1 CD distro.

I've been a fan of Linux for a while, I've got a copy of Knoppix, but recently I was at the Australian Informatics camp and after using Debian for 10 days, it depresses me to come home to my Windows box. I was wondering if you knew where or how I could find some help with getting a copy of Debian with the full KDE, and getting onto my machine so it will dual-boot, Windows or Debian. Niether myself nor my friend (who also went to the camp, despises Windows and wants to get Debian as a dual system) can download the complete disks, and neither of us know how to safely install it on a partition so it won't stuff up Windows, and Windows won't stuff it up. If this isn't possible with Debian, a different flavour of Linux with the KDE would be okay - but the Debian pre-release, which we used at the camp, worked fine for everything we needed and we'd be happy with that.
