Have a look around linuxiso.org and http://www.linuxquestions.org/reviews/index.php?cat=2 and see which you'd like to try.

Being sick of windows ins't a terribly good reason to try linux however...

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
