What is the best linux Distrobution?

I am a complete Linux Newb, I have little experience with linux, but I’m fed up with microsoft and proprietary software. I have a Sabayon Live CD, but is it worth installing the full 3.9GB version on my laptop? It has all the drivers I need, including the wireless card and touch pad drivers, so I won’t have to install them.

I’m looking for a console-only Linux distrobution?

Does anyone know of a console-only Linux distribution that is not a Live-CD? I want to be able to control the machine without a mouse, only a keyboard. The machine will be dedicated to folding, so I don’t need any GUI.
I don’t want to fold on a PS3, as I can’t afford one. I just want a console-only distribution to replace Damn Small Linux on my folding farm machines.
