I've played around with various distros but I've always ended up with 
Mandrake on my desktop. I currently use 9.2 and can recommend it, some 
others on the list have said nice things about 10.

If you are just experimenting then why not try some of the livecd 
distributions like Knoppix? Most of them can be installed onto the hard 
disk if you like them.

Cheers,

Pete.
