I'd have to second SuSe if you want to get a good first experiance. Even my little sister (computer noob) was able to handle it nicely. It installs like a dream and comes with LOADS of stuff.
Off course if you really want to learn things you'll go for Fedora or Knoppix or maybe even Slackware.
Drawback is that you'll spend whole lot of time on google trying to find out just what the hell you're supposed to do, but that's how you learn. You'll also find out way more about your comp and how complex software works.
So in short: Go with SuSe, RedHat or Mandrake or similar first, muck about with that, then install Knoppix or Slackware or something if you really want to get a taste of the hell/bliss that linux can be.
