   Depends on what you want. Debian is extremely stable and is the core for a lot of other Linux distributions. Linux Mint is designed for desktop use and has a lot of non-free software for playing media files that Debian doesn’t have. It is Debian based, though.

   I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 LTS which is built upon Ubuntu 10.04 LTS its easy to install and easy to use plus it comes with much of the software you are likely to need preinstalled

   You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 9 LTS then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation

   Linux Mint 9 LTS can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Boot without touching your Hard Drive

   Once you have installed Linux Mint 9 LTS you can bring it up to date with easy tweaks like upgrading the Kernel to 2.6.38 and installing Firefox 4
