Yes I know, old thread but exciting and important topic: using Linux to take back control of your computer.

Ubuntu 10.4 LTS(Long Term Support) is not as 'cutting edge' as 11.04/11.10 but it's stable and up to date.

http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/

Choose from the two versions of Desktop according to the hardware you have. If in doubt the PC (Intel x86) desktop CD will be just fine, for any modern Intel or AMD hardware.
