Tom proposed the following answer:

Most of these distros have a reputation for being quite techie, especially the BSD ones which are a different type of unix-based Operating System.  Within linux all the distros have more similarity than differences, when i said YellowDog is quite different from Ubuntu it does also share a lot of similarities. Moving from Windows to linux is quite a step, which is why it's worth doing a dual-boot system so that you can keep going back to Windows until you're quite familiar with linux
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
the advice in that guide is pretty much the same for any linux distro, not just Ubuntu.  Most other unix-based distros also have a great deal of similarity, we all organise our folders in much the same way and put configuration files in similar places and even use many of the same commands on a command line.

>From the link i would suggest trying CentOS first, then Gentoo,
openSUSE, Fedora, Slackintosh, Debian, RedHat (if you can get it free),
then the BSD ones and leave the rest.  Assuming you've already tried
YellowDog of course ;)

Good luck and happy hunting
Regards from
Tom :)
