If you are going to go out and buy the Distro i would recommend SuSE 8.1 or Red Hat 8. Both are really good with the deskpart support and the one really big diffrence ihave noticed is that Red Hat likes to use Gnome as it's default GUI while SuSE usally goes with KDE. I think they are both equal in the desktop part though so it will be up to personal oppenion
you know its a bad day when you look more sober then usual

If you're a newbie and want a great desktop distro get Debian or Gentoo, both are very easy to install.

Better yet, you could use this.
