btw I use Arch
(sorry)
E: If anyone's interested, Arch Linux is a "barebones" Linux distribution. The install is completely command-line (think MS-DOS, "old school" stuff) then you are manually responsible for installing the drivers and the programs necessary for graphics. For instance, I like and use KDE. You don't have to use KDE though, you can use Gnome, LXDE, etc..
If you don't want a "barebones" distro, you can try Ubuntu (they are backed by Canonical, but they have been flamed on Win though (two)). At my workplace, we use Ubuntu, and I have been trying to get them to migrate to Debian (the project on which Ubuntu is based off) but to no avail. Oh well. I would not use Ubuntu; rather, Debian or Linux Mint or something along those lines. Even Fedora too.
