I thoroughly recommend Linux Mint 9 Main Edition which is built upon Ubuntu 10.04 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 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation
Linux Mint 9 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive
Also worth considering :
Fedora Remix (Fedora with elements of Linux Mint)

Again Fedora Remix can be run direct from the LiveDVD without touching your Hard Drive
LUg.
Ultimate Edition.
It’s Ubuntu-based, and the "ultimate" comes from that it has several different desktop environments as pre-installed (you can choose between them at startup). It also seems to have tons of software.
The DVD is about 2,5 gigabytes or so (compressed data).
Knoppix DVD
Over 2600 software packages preinstalled
Any of the major distros (Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE, Linux Mint, RHEL, etc) will have the most common programs pre-installed. That being said if you get your hands on a distro with a CD repository (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, and SUSE are the main ones that come to mind) you can use that to install software onto your computer. Just make sure to get the DVD version of the distro so it has all the extra programs.
