Linux Mint is a spin-off of Debian linux and is probably the best distro for a linux newbie. It has all the features of Ubuntu and more. As I read somewhere Linux Mint is 97% Ubuntu, but that 3% extra makes it better. It comes with a very elegant Gnome theme compared to the dull brownish Ubuntu theme.
Notably it comes with "giver", which is a great way to share files and folders within a network (specially between room-mates!) without using a memory stick. If you haven't tried "giver", I highly recommend it (even for fedora and debian users)
If you are trying to convince anyone to use linux instead of Windows or Mac, Linux Mint is your answer...It will make the transition much easier than you might expect.
