OK, since the topic was raised, I'm pretty much a complete noob too.

I'm concentrating on CentOS right now.  

Good, bad, indifferent???

Alright, that's it, I have to throw in Slackware here. :) The installer is  
a little intimidating if you don't know how to use an ncurses partition  
utility, but other than that, Slackware is great for the starting user who  
wants to learn about Linux. On the other hand, if you don't want to learn  
a different modus operandi from Windows, other systems might work better  
for you. :-)
