I want to learn about Linux. Simple as. Problem is, I currently know NOTHING! So I'm hoping someone can help me out here...

1 - Type

KDE / Gnome / other
Which is the best? What are the differences?

2 - Flavour

I've downloaded Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Suse 10 desktop. Which is best? Should I chose another?

3 - Anything else I should know or look into here

Thanks in advance...

btw, I'm currently on nights, so will be in bed pretty shortly. Please feel free to add stuff here -I will read it and comment, but it may not be until later.

I'm looking for something in Linux that is intuitive, looks great, is easy to use and compatible with Linux versions of things like MSN, Skype, open office and anything else that is general everyday use stuff like CD / DVD burning, listening to music (mp3 AND M4A - M4A is very important)
