My answer to this question is always DEBIAN!! Of course keep in mind
that Debian is not at all meant for beginners from an ease of use
standpoint (although what is easier to use than apt-get?)
What Debian is great for beginners though is how much it teaches you
about Linux and OSes in general. But be prepared to install and
reinstall and reinstall and reinstall Debian about 15 times in a row
before you "get it" None of the other distributions really have this
learning cycle. You can kinda get away with installing it and not really
knowing what you are doing. But Debian is afterall the most popular
distribution amoung Linux users with more than 3 years of experience for
a reason.
