Ok, as a linux newbie myself, I'm going to throw my vote in for Mandrake. I tried Debian last Saturday night. I started working on it at 12:30 AM, and finished up getting KDE installed at 6:40 AM. This was a very frustrating process, to say the least.
I then formatted my Debian install, and installed Mandrake. This took about an hour, and it wasn't the least bit frustrating (except when I thought about all the time I'd wasted on Debian).
Long story short:
Use Mandrake rather than Debian for linux newbs.
