Re: Noob Linux User
Ubuntu is easiest of them all.

Re: Noob Linux User
My goat goes to Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" bcoz of
1. Great Community 2. Very User Friendly OS (OpenSuse is also good but Ubuntu's community is veryyy bigggg) On Second Thought, Well Linux Mint is also very good as pointed out by shady

 One of the best Linux User here suggesting Vixta  Vixta : Tested and it sucks .. I guess there is no install option in it No sound support and just a fake OS...PCLOS : - Full with crap.. I don't know how many media player a person will use to listen music.. and there is lack of essentials that I have noticed in Gnome React OS : Is in Alpha stage and so be it, it is not stable and meant for a newbie :  Though still you can give PCLOS a try but I don't like it .. Get Linux Mint it has got even support for Restricted Format like .rm and .mpg

Re: Noob Linux User
I think your avatar says it all. Go for OpenSuSE 10.3, you can use the link suggested by infra_red_dude for a speedy multimedia setup, even if you have an internet connection. A word of advice, you may set up your internet connection during install, but don't bother testing your internet connection and downloading updates during the setup, it can make a BIG MESS. Do that later.
