I’ve tried Suse before it seemed to be pretty easy, nice GUI similar to Windows; but the goal this time is to learn Linux, so I need a place to start, I’ve thought of going to Suse once again but whats your thought on this?

Ubuntu is a clean and simple distro, if you’re used to using the sudo functions (apt-get is most common) for performing installations, or using external sources. It updates now and then, but I’ve not come across bugs for quite some time. Suse is a good, solid distro also if you have experience with it. Debian, Gentoo, and Mandriva are similarly easy to use. Try looking through for a master list of distros that you could look into if you’re interested.

Most fairly recent distros will be pretty bug-free. Suse uses the KDE interface, so if that worked well for you, stay with it. KDE is the best choice for users coming from Windows. That rules out Ubuntu, because it uses the Gnome interface.
There are lots of options, but PCLinuxOS is the best I’ve found for finding & configuring your hardware by itself, and a problem-free installation. It’s one of the best for multimedia support, and has a large software repository in case you need something that doesn’t come on the CD.
