Help me chose the right Linux OS to suit my style?

Hi guys what’s up?

I wanted to know is someone could help me by telling me which Linux distibution is best for me? I study computers, and I want to enlarge what I know by using what most people think the best OS out there. I would like to create a multi-boot on my current PC. And I would like Linux to be one of my OS installed on there. But the truth is, I only used Linux a bit and that was in school it wasn’t an actuall distribution but a Live CD. I study networking, and I’m building up to be a Network Administrator.
Can someone help me find a Linux distribution that matches this:

- Great beautiful GUI
- Easy and simple to use setup
- Will help me in my networking studies
- Works with most hardware

I really want a gorgeous GUI, simple and easy to use with a good/great networking background to help me with my studies. Please tell me the distribution and the link.

Thank you so much!!
Guys thank you for all of your input!! I love them, I’ve been reviewing your responses and decided I will go with:
- Mandriva and Ubuntu… but one last question. Which one is better of the two.

And what’s the difference between those two and Fedora?

In the market for a nice linux os for my old imac?

I just got an old iMac from a friend, but its running Mac OS 9 and I’m not too crazy about it, what Linux OS would you recommend for an older mac (preferably free and is Live CD).

I was wondering what the smallest linux os was that was in live cd format to download?

I have tried Damn Small Linux and I have no idea how to download it, help!!!!!!!

Trying to run Linux In Windows XP using VirtualBox?

I’m trying to run Linux Mint Helena(8) in my Windows XP (Service Pack 3) Operating System. I’ve installed VirtualBox and have created the Linux OS machine in the program, but I’m trying to put in the settings. So I’m trying to retrieve/mount the iso image from a Live CD my friend gave to me, but a iso image can not be found. The CD works, since I can boot Linux from it, but I can’t find the iso image. What should I do?
