Zorin OS

I'd suggest learning with Mint perhaps.

Elementary OS when the new version comes out in a month or so

[flibberdipper]

Xubuntu.

[Rorgash]

yea

I recommend Mint with the Cinnamon desktop, I have it installed on my laptop with Windows 7, and it's good for learning.

It's based of a very stripped down Debian.

I just put on Lubuntu 12.04 on my netbook to replace Windows XP, not had much time with it but what have seen it looks ok

[Kev]

I recomend Arch Linux.

[tonychau77]

Ubuntu GNOME

[DarkEnergy]

Manjaro Linux with Cinnamon!

[ToxicFire]

Mint

Ubuntu! Looks the best in my opinion.

I use Xubuntu on 3 laptops and two desktops. Its easy to use, most things work out of the box and its relatively lightweight. My recommendation is that you choose a distro that based on Ubuntu (ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu, kubuntu).

[Rassilon]

Debian with Lxde or Xfce for speed and Stability.

Zorin OS for ease of use.

What do you plan on doing with it. Off the top of my head I can recommend: Ubuntu (as the best overall experience), Zorin OS (best windows-like experience), Mint (best if you don't like Ubuntu, cinnamon version looks really good), and OpenSUSE. I personally prefer Gnome, but KDE is also good. But the best implementation funcionality-wise is the Unity from Ubuntu, cinnamon looks best IMHO.

 

Also we use some Zorin OS PCs in my office and they are POS in printing department. 100 problems every week, from random driver wipes, random device wipes, 1 page a minute print jobs etc...

well then any of the mentioned oneswould be great. I hope you have the time to try them all out because all of them are truly great. My no1 choice for that would be ubuntu, but you may like something else more. The good thing is that they are all free and you can try them without installing them to a partition with live cd.
