[Liverpool] Introductions are in order

[Scott Brimin]

So, I've been considering installing Linux again.

But I don't know which distribution to use. I want a distribution that
is friendly enough to use, preferrably with good hardware support
without alot of messing around.

I was going to install Mandrake since I did start on it but people
have been telling me that Mandrake has become "blegh". I have been
recommended Debian by several people but this Ubunto seems
interesting.

What would people recommend for a noob (with a brain)?
