linux

I have a netbook, and I want a linux distro that is super easy to use and super easy to install, since I'm a bit of a beginner. I've already tried Ubuntu and found it just okay.
Between Xubuntu and Mint, which is better for a beginner like me? Also, do both have a wubi-like installer?
As a side note, does anyone know anything about Zeven OS?

I just installed Ubuntu yesterday, and I've never installed a new OS before. Following the Ubuntu website, I made a USB installer. Shut down my computer, entered bios, rearranged the boot order to boot from the USB, and Ubuntu loaded up just fine. Ran the installer, and I was good to go.
I'll add in though, that if you plan on installing it on an external (like i did), I strongly advise removing your hard drive before running the installation (after you shut your computer down, before you go into BIOS). There is a chance that the master boot record on your hard drive could be overwritten. Easily fixed, however, it'd just be 'one more thing' to deal with.
Good luck!
