Mint is a *wonderful* distro, esp. for newbs (IMHO)! Very user-friendly, very good drivers (at least I've had no issues using it on two different laptops), and it has a nice desktop. I am still using Mint 6 (Felicia), not because the newer versions aren't great but I've reached a comfort zone. I'm sure everyone else has mentioned this by now but it's terribly easy to download a distro and burn to disk, even if it makes you uncomfortable at first...don'
Good luck,
Mark
