Linux

Ok everyone, I'm thinking of switching to linux because I've heard great things about it, so I was wondering which linux based os I should go for. I'm just looking for one that I can use the internet on, since I have my games on another installation of xp. Basically I want to run live messenger, utorrent and limewire or something similar. Also will I need to get any virus protection, since I download some risky stuff.

HEY FUCKFACE

COST OF LINUX : $0
PROFIT MADE WHEN SOMEONE INSTALLS IT : $0
MARKETS ARE DRIVEN BY : MONEY
% OF LINUX MARKETSHARE IN 1991 : 0
% OF LINUX MARKETSHARE NOW : 0
% OF LINUX MARKETSHARE WHEN EVERYONE WILL BE USING IT EXCEPT USA IN 10 YEARS : 0

SO, STFU.
