This is a common question and you should really think about what kind of computer experience you have. Every user has their favorites an are biosed; even me. But here's my 2 cents. If you've only been exposed to Windows I would recommend Mandrake, very easy to install and manage and manipulate. If you have some linux exposure go for Redhat. This is a good article to read to help out a bit http://www.rons.net.cn/english/FSM/ladislav

I concur with Myrolaos. If have little or no experience with Linux/Unix, you definately want Mandrake. It is on of the easiest, most forgiving flavors available. Once you become comfortable with Linux and feel that you can do most things without problems, you might want to try other flavors. They all have strengths and weaknesses.
