which distro of linux do I use?

[Ameer Armaly]

Hi Guys.  Well, I've gotten tired of waiting for the chance for a new pc and decided to put linux on the family computer.  I of course plan to make lilo come up with a boot prompt so I can boot windows.  I just want to try linux, but I can't get into dos and run zipspeak because it won't ditect my C drive when I try changing dirs to it  I think debian, because it can install over ftp, but slackware has an easier install.  Which one do you think would be good for a newbee?
