I personally have experience with RedHat and I think that it is the best for
me.  What is best for you really depends on what you want to use it for.  If
you are simply trying to get a taste of what Linux is all about then I think
that either Corel or RedHat are the best options.  If you are thinking about
running a server, then I think that I would go with Caldera or Redhat.  They
are all pretty solid, but all in all, I believe that RH, Corel, and Caldera
are probabally the best bets.  Hope I was of some help.
