Linux Distro? (don't troll plz)

Hello world4ch,
I'm new to Linux blah blah, I tried to install Ubuntu without much success (I get a "failed to load X server" error and get dumped back into command line).

Would like suggestions to alternatives to Ubuntu please, meaning, a nice beginner distro which has a good community support.

Danke.

(no "use BSD" or bullshit replies like that, it's not relevant to my interests)

ATI support for linux sucks compared to Nvidia.  I mean it is horrible.  Makes me sad as I'm an Ubuntu ATI user. I Was windows for 99% of my computing life and then one day I challenged myself to use Ubuntu until the next version of windows came out.  Ubuntu rocks.  It is buggy in places, but those are more bugs with individual programs rather than Ubuntu as a whole.  My biggest overall problem was embeded media in firefox, then someone showed me the "Media Connectivity Extension" I installed the extension and BLAM videos played better and with less buffering than windows.  Since then I've had no real complaints with ubuntu. 

As for your problem, hit up the mailing list they are good people and generally respond and help quickly.
