What is the best Linux Distro out there right now for a home computer?

I need something that is a bit more user friendly, and is best for a computer used at home. At the same time I dont want it to be too limited as far as options since I am actually new to Linux and want to take some time to study the OS.What is the best Linux Distro out there right now for a home computer?
Ubuntu is a very user friendly distro. Very easy to install and run. It's a good first start.
I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 8 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 9.10 Its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 8 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation



Linux Mint 8 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive
