We all started out at the same place; not knowing anything about Linux. Then we learned, what seems like second nature for us

My favorites are:

Ultra X Linux http://ultraxlinux.org/download.html
Ubuntu 9.04 http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
Fedora http://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora

These are great distro's, try http://distrowatch.com

Windows 7 Sucks!!!
