if you are a beginner i would suggest Mepis, i haven't tried Xandros so I cant comment on that one, but Mepis seems pretty nice.

Newbies might want to check out this month's Tux Magazine. It's downloadable for free.

 Here's the blurb about the current issue from their page:

In Issue 12, available April 1, 2006, TUX features its first Linux distribution review and comparison. We feature seven reviews of some of the most popular Linux distributions. As explained in our review introduction, we wanted to capture these reviews from the freshest "out-of-the-box" perspective possible. For me, this was important because once you've used Linux as a desktop for a few years, you tend to forget what it feels like to be new to Linux--especially if the new user happens to be an ordinary user and not an engineer.

I'm using Xandros right now. It is a very good distro. It runs really smoothly on both my laptop and desktop. I have officially said goodbye to Windows and have successfully migrated to Linux, thanks to Linspire and Xandros.

I used to use both Linspire and Xandros, but I decided to switch to Xandros because it meets my needs better than Linspire. Right now I am hoping that Xandros will officially have LSongs and LPhoto added to Xandros Networks (XN is to Xandros as CNR is to Linspire).
