Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I actually got Debian installed. I had done something wrong. It was a version that came with Gnome AND Kde. Debian actually isn't that hard, even though i'm just starting with linux. I sure am impressed with the way it runs!!
Say, a lot of the "hard part" about learning Linux is simply the rather mind-blowing experience of encountering something that's completely new-and-different to what you have been used to. (And by the way, this will happen to you periodically, ... no matter how long you've used it.) But once you get it up-and-running and get used to it, you really start to love it. Welcome aboard!

Hi, check out the post-install configuration thread (it's a sticky at the top of the Debian forum, here).
It will give you all the info you ever need to get a good working and configured system.
cheers
Edit : this site is also pretty cool : the people there are very friendly, too :
It may be that I haven't looked around distrowatch enough, but I don't think newbies would find it useful for determining which distro to try out--I think comparisons like those my homepage link to are more relevant.
