From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mint was my first thought as well. Haven't used it myself but in the past I've heard that it's supposed to be very user friendly and stable, though I'm not really up to date on Linux distros so I wanted to check if this was still was true (which is seems to be) and if there were any new options.
