antix-mepis or Xubuntu as u may be knowing.
else make a debian minimal system and install wanted packages only using netinstall method- if u have broadband.

Hardcore windows user-then try a distro with KDE. I'd say Kbuntu would be right.

i am currently looking at linux mint, any other suggestions?
also the distro should have a large support & should be similar to windows UI and better if it is a single cd as they take up less space

I dunno, but someone who's way more versed with BSD, than I am said that it can be done easily with some minor modifications to the loader.
