I'm with simple on this one I also think Ubuntu (as it is now) is A waste of time, but that is just me, if you feel that Ubuntu is a good starting point then may I reccomend 4.10 and not 5.10, 4.10 had great usability and was much more user friendly.
You can D/L it by following the Link Below

Also I Would reccomend A few Others:
Mandriva
http://frontal2.mandriva.com/en/downloads/mirrors
Knoppix
http://iso.linuxquestions.org/distro.php?distro=5
OPENSUSE
http://www.opensuse.org/Download
Please note SUSE is not for everyone, it is A simple distro with A nice fusion Between both KDE and Gnome environments and should give you a look and the pros and cons of both environments
Hope this Helps,
Jake
