Answer 2

Go with ubuntu. It is by far the nicest one and it is very easy to start out with. I personally use ubuntu all the time and recommend it. It has some great features and is the most supported linux distro not only in terms of programs, but for updates and stability as well.

Answer 3

ubuntu does not support usb modems 'out of the box', neither do most linux distributions

Ubuntu is the goto choice for new Linux users. Clean and polished layout, less "hackish" than some of the other distros, and has a easy user interface built for everyone to understand.
