Hi Ruth!

My opinion is that best distributions for the newbies are the ones that have 
good graphical tools for configuration. With them everyone can start learning 
basics and if/when one wants to go further, next step is exploring how things 
can be done by editing configuration files directly and using different 
commandline tools (which are included in almost every distribution). If you 
are looking for distribution that has good graphical tools for configuration 
I can suggest Suse 9.1.

(let the distro-war begin ...:)

Linuxbeta (http://www.linuxbeta.com) has screenshots about Suse 9.1. 
Configuration is done with "YaST2" ("Yet another Setup Tool") - screenshots 
50-115 give you an overview of it's functionalities and what it looks like:
