This site here (http://distrowatch.com/) has links to a lot of Linux distros you should find one to suit your purpose there.
If you don't know which one to try then try one of the popular ones as you will get more support as more people use it.

I have used UBUNTU linux software for years with no problems

Desktop | Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop)

Here also is a link to a "10 Best Linux Software OS"

The best are Ubuntu (which I use), Fedora or Mint, and it really is a matter of preference.

They are different in their own ways, but once you have got to grips with Linux you won't go back.

I have a boot menu so I can log into windows if I want as their are some programmes I use which only run on windows.

I strongly recommend Debian, although is lesser updated, it's very stable !

If your new to linux i would as a few people have said go for Ubuntu.
There are a few versions for different needs eg PC or netbook.
Goto : Home | Ubuntu (http://www.ubuntu.com/)

Next i would recommend Debian (Ubuntu is actually based on debian)
If you start with a netinstall it will install a minimal install and you can then update from the net

Link : Debian -- Network install from a minimal CD (http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/)

Hope that helps

If you want to try several different types of linux, most distributions have livecd version som you can test them without the need to install.

I'd have to recommended distrowatch too, its great for finding new and old buried distributions.

Be sure to try out DSL (Damn Small Linux) and Puppy Linux as well, it's quite old but is a very small distribution (albeit, not useful for desktop/ongoing use)

go for ubuntu 10.4 desktop it will work perfect with gui on the desktop version its a bit easier to change settings, if you going for c/s get an omniikey reader rgds..

I like ubuntu for it's 'just works' factor......
however you don't learn as much when it 'just works'.
Even ubuntu didn't just work like it does now only a few years ago and I think I learnt a lot from the days when most things had to be done in command line.
I can't vouch for other distros really as don't use on day to day basis.

edit: must add the ubuntu forums are brilliant for help so if something doesn't work go there,
