All distros are alike, but people tend to be font of the first distro that makes sense. Novices tend to try as many as distros at the very first. Well, I suggest you forget about distros and pay more attention to Linux itself. Just choose a distro, install it, run it and begin the learning process. One more thing, never think Linux is like Windows that everything is there waiting for you. hehe... You should learn to solve problems.
