My favourite is SuSE; if you have broadband (and if you haven't, why not?) you can download a small CD boot image and do the rest by FTP. The instructions for getting running are simple but I won't waste space here; if you need to know just ask.
I like SuSE too, but a word of advice.... At the moment the ftp server ftp.suse.com seems a little unreliable, the last few times I have tried to use it, it has unexpectedly gone off-line. This in itself wouldn't be so much of a problem except that YaST can fail rather ungracefully if it looses the ftp server halfway through an installation. I use anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/suse/ or pick one from this list http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/downloads/ftp/int_mirrors.h...
