 Knoppix(knoppix.net ) or any Live CD based distro is good for starters
 Next you can work on any Linux distribution
 Linux Mandrake is easy to use and install for newbies.
 there are a lot of distributions out of the distributions that i have test=
ed
  the best distribution for me has been Slackware,the latest is 10.1
  but it is not for newbies but for advanced users in Linux
