rogy I'm using Debian at home and it works very nice. I have KDE desktop and it is quit easy to use. Since you are new you can try out

Ubuntu Linux http://www.ubuntulinux.org/
OR
PCLinuxOS : http://www.pclinuxonline.com/pclos/

Download ISO images from above site, burn them on CD, install, or run from Live CD. Moreover, start to use. If you have a question use our forum and will happy to assist you further.
