Martin, I'd try the live CD versions of Fedora, Kubuntu (I think this is
the same as Ubuntu where the install CD is a live CD) and others so you
can try without installing them. Debian isn't for novices so I'd try
Ubuntu instead. I prefer Fedora but I'm used to Red Hat systems and
prefer the commercial bias.
