i would go with debian. it is a very good distro. i havent ever had any problems with it
here is where you can download debian
http://ftp.ticklers.org/cdimage.debian.org-cdimage/daily-builds/
the link is for a netinstall iso. it will download packages while it installs so have your computer hooked into your router so it has acces to the internet
and here is a guid for installing
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/index.html.en

I'd recommend openSUSE because its very easy to use and is constantly updated where as other distros are updated once or twice a year

Xan21 - that stupidly excessive signature needs fixing ASAP

Signatures

1. Text-only signatures should have at most 5 lines of text.

2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.

3. If you use an animated picture in the signature, it should not be too distractive. Eg. blinking images or images with quick movement are not allowed.

4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.

I personally would go with Ubuntu since it is very user-friendly.
