If you are brand new, then I would suggest Mandriva 2007.1 Free. Its simple, easy to use. Great for a beginner but powerful enough for everything I've had to do (host a private web and ftp server, host games) and the new update notification is very handy (although I use Powerpack so you may not get that and some other things on the Free version). But overall, its a very good OS to start with!
