Clearly, I will suggest you Debian. Opensuse is great, really, but use rpm (AFAIK) and package and application managing can be a nightmare. Globally to choose a first linux distribution, don't rely on the gui or the screenshot you'll finds on the net. Rely on the work done by the packagers and developers. Debian is solid, user friendly (when you admit the power of bash :), I know that's hard when comes from Window$). Feel free to install a debian squeeze and use it, smash it and use internet resources, you'll find a lots of help here and on the web. So yes I'll recommend debian, you won't regret it, when console will not afraid you :) Because debian (Linux ?) unleash is power in shell, gui is just an option.
