so what would be the best distro to learn linux?
I haven't used it for years but ubuntu is one of the easiest (so I hear) and has it's roots in debian. Debian is also a good choice.
I've been using slackware for about a year now and I just can't get enough of it it but I suppose slackware is not for everyone.
There are lots of choices with *nix and you'll just have to make one.. :)
There is a knoppix live dvd around that has 4 or 5 desktops on it that you
can run with command line arguments when you boot.

Whatever you choose we are not far away.. :)
