Easy Linux download, anyone?

[Useless]

So then, I have an old system here gathering dust and ball hair, so I've decided that I'd like to put some form of Linux on it to play with, maybe make it a mirror of my server, who knows. I started searching for a simple way to download a friendly flavor of Linux so I can burn it on cd and install on that old box. But thus far nothing seems friendly about those Nix sites. They are really geared for enthusiasts, not ugly little schmoes like myself who just want a simple to download and install OS.

Does anyone know of a user-friendly Linux site? I'm not fond of going to download pages only to find 70 different files with no indication of which ones I should download or what to do with them after that. Argh...
