My personal fave is SuSE. I've heard that Mandrake is supposed to be
very beginner friendly. RedHat is also fine - but subjectively a
little rougher round the edges.

is one place to buy.

Whichever you choose, make sure you have all the hardware you intend
to use installed prior to doing the first install - it will make life
a lot easier. In the case of a firewall/router against a cable modem,
that's probably going to mean two network cards (unless you have a
USB modem...)
