For someone new to Linux I would not recommend Debian as it can be a pain to get all the hardware support sorted. I still can't get it (Debian 6)to recognise my onboard sound system whereas Ubuntu, OpenSuSE and Fedora picked it up easily during install. Derivatives such as Ubuntu 10.10 (11.04 is flawed) are easier to set up. OpenSuSE 11.4 and Fedora 14 are also excellent choices. OpenSuSE 11.4 is on the cover disk of this month's APC magazine.
