Any distro is not a good choice, it's actually no choice at all.

I believe that it should be possible, with a minimal number of 
questions, to point you in a direction that will not frustrate you right 
away. If a newbie chooses Gentoo, I am sure he will be lost. A person 
who knows things about Linux may be extremely pleased. That could have 
been clarified in one simple question. Add a few more, and you're 
probably close to a good answer.

If anybody still cares, I've just installed Slackware 10 and I have, for 
the first time after FreeBSD, a *very* good feeling. I think I'll like 
this one.

Thanks to Patrick Kaell for recommending it.
