/r/ Linux info

I'm looking at getting away from Microsoft OS's, and trying one of the open source OS's.

My question is, "Which one"? I've seen many versions on the shelves, but I don't know which is better for the first time user.
So instead of browsing the magic google, I decided to try here.

The name is DEBIAN-Tutorial, but it's quite all-round Linux information. Some specific stuff, but this can be identified easily:
http://www.us.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-tutorial/

Lots of other tutorials:

And yes: Debian for a newb IS pretty hard. But if you WANT to learn it then there are not many alternatives.
