There are tons. I recomend you go out, buy the newest Linux Pro Magazine (Linux Magazine in others areas) And use there new cd. It has tons of smaller distros.

I think you should use Ubuntu in the beginning. Because it's like a desktop feeling in it. If you used to use Windows before. And While browsing around in Ubuntu you will learn more and more each day and then you might want to explore something more advanced or something. So try it out at first! That's what I did and I still have a lot to learn but it's fun!

Linux Mint is brilliant, it has the compatibility and support of Ubuntu in a nice polished package!

It isn't considered the best, it just has the largest user group because it was specifically made for people migrating from Windows. It's a user friendly OS, unlike some of the other Linux Distros.
