I found RH to be good to start with and also Mandrake, though it felt a bit 
"Windowsish" at times.  Debian is a challenge, but with a bit of googling 
and RTFMing, it was not a major problem.  It was very handy to have the 
laptop to 'research' with online while doing the Debian install :)
A good "inbetween" distro I have found is Libranet.  Basically RH ease to 
install, then off you go into Debian Land :)  It comes complete with a 
large variety of window managers, games, assorted programs etc.

As most of the people have said here - have a play and see what feels/looks 
right to you :o)


regards,
   Nathan
