Crikey Caz, you don't do questions by halves do you? That's like saying
"Which is better, a Mac or a PC?" ;)

Me, I'd say Gentoo ( Gentoo rocks!!1!oneone! ), but if you're
asking which is the best to download, then it's probably your first
time, so you'll be wanting something a little easier.

Er. Pardon the pun.

You can't go far wrong with Mandrake[1] or SuSE[2] IMHO, or Debian[3] -
all have reasonably nice installers and are simple to get to grips with,
though Debian is possibly the more 'advanced' of the three.. but that
depends who you talk to :)

Links to most are on the LinuxISO site[4]
