So anyone have any suggestions on which distro to try out as of right now? I really have no idea on how to use linux as the only time i've used it at all is on the N800. So it would have to be really user friendly and working well with my Dell would be nice. I see on DistroWatch that Ubuntu and Mint are the top downloads right now. Thanks for any info or suggestions.

Ubuntu is your best bet.
