    Hi knight414

    Welcome to Linux and the Linux Forums

    There are lots of distributions that you can try and everyone has their favourites (Personally I like Ubuntu at the moment). The best thing to do is just give a few a go. Most will allow you to run them from the CD (look for Live CD) so you can test the distribution out before installing it.

    As Live CDs are running an operating system it will be slow so bear that in mind when testing.
