Definately fedora (or better yet, SuSE).
The only thing I've seen about Ubuntu so far that impresses me is how well marketed it is. |

one of the best things abt ubuntu is that it gets loads of support from Canonical. also, its totally free, whereas, Fedora Core has a shipping cost. |

You could download ISO's and burn the CD's... |

but my point was that not all the people in this world have a good internet connection. half of the people i know in india here get speeds ranging from 2kbps to 75 kbps. we only have very high internet speeds in the corporate sector, in the official buildings.
it will burn a hole in the pockets to download the ISO's. ubuntu is a mere 600 MB, but u can order Dapper for free (edgy cannot be shipped due to LTS of ubuntu).
i also found ubuntu edgy user friendly (i am not biased). i am also using fedora, though not yet upgraded to FC6. |

Personally, I buy the disks. If you get them from third party suppliers you can usually find them for less than $5.00.
Too bad I'm not finished with my diskpost site yet...
Another place to get free Linux disks of a variety of good distros is
http://free.thelinuxstore.ca/index.php
They have a cut-off point daily (or else they'd loose scads of money), but if you get there early enough, you can have your choice of Linux disks for free. |

^Yeah, that seems to be the usual case there. If you manage to get disks from there, you're lucky. |
