I have used SuSE, RH, Mandrake, Caldera, and several Debian distros.

Currently, Mandrake is, IMHO, the easiest distro out.  It installs well, is 
fairly complete, and is more cutting edge in nature than many other distros. 
Also, it is the most popular distro out as of recent surveys.

However, my preferred distro, today, is SuSE 7.3.  It is a voluminous 
collection, can be installed from a DVD(1 disk), is absolutely rock solid, 
and, if you use a GUI, has arguably, the best admin tool available. Also, I 
find the online update tool to be easy and almost foolproof.

My $0.02 worth...
