Suse is pretty good and user friendly as well. Be forewarned though, that your presario most likely has a Recovery Partition rather then restore disks, so if you do mess up the partitions, you may not be able to get XP back unless you get your full Recovery Disks from HP i would use Knoppix to start (bootable, without removing your XP, or having to DUAL BOOT), then try WinLinux for a bit, then when you feel confident enough, jump into an acctual fully installed OS.

It has a windows-like interface and a nifty help/wizard feature. I would go with Linux Mandrake. It has a windows-like interface and a nifty help/wizard feature.
