I'm planning to build a low cost PC running a Linux OS, so the question is, what type of Linux is easy to use for a beginner so i can feel around also tech specs of the OS would be handy.
EDIT: Please note, i'll be going to Uni in a year or so (hopefully studying Computer Networking) so if you know what the uni's use most would also be helpful

On a side note am i allowed to post want to sell threads in GC/The Lounge/General Games board.
