Recommendations on switching from RedHat to new distro?

Some time back, I installed RedHat Linux on a Dell Dimension XPS T800r box
at home and set up CVS, Samba, Eclipse, and a few other things on it. About
a year later, RedHat stopped free updates/support for weekend users like me,
so I'm looking to switch to another distro.

A friend at work recommended SuSE. I went to the web site, but had trouble
figuring out what to download. The RedHat stuff came on CD and was easy to
set up.

I don't want to start a war here, but can someone recommend a distro that is
friendly to a non-power user such as myself? (and maybe point me to the CD
images or whatever?)

Thanks very much in advance.
