I would definately recommend
Ubuntu
Here is the official website
It was created to be as user friendly as possible, it's easy to install, easy to use and there is very good user support avaliable.
Support options
1) Read the official wiki
here which contains step by step guides for
most common problems.
2) You can post your questions on linuxquestions.org
here or sign up to the ubuntuforums.org
here - you should get a response within 24 hours
3) Jump on the freenode irc server (irc.freenode.net) and join #Ubuntu - If you havn't used IRC before I suggest you learn if you want to use linux - You can get instant support from somne very smart people.
All the best with linux!
