    This thread will give you plenty of opinions regarding a good beginner friendly distro. Personally, I'd recommend Ubuntu or Mint.

    I'm not sure what you mean by which source you would start it, but most distro come as live cds that run slowly and enable you have a look without installing. Simply boot with the CD in (and bios configured to boot from CD). If you like the distro, you can install and then a simple reboot shold make it available.

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

    Indeed, Ubuntu and Mint are touted as newbie-friendly. I would also like to toss Fedora in there. Other info for a new user can be found in the links in my signature.

    Good place to learn about the differences between Linux and Microsoft: Linux is NOT Windows

    Likewise, you can find plenty of info on the Fedora Wiki or with a quick search on <Linux> - Google Search
