Dual boot Linux

So what I'm looking for here is two things - a Linux distro good for we poor schlubs whose acquaintance with Linux is nodding at best, and a kind of Dual Booting For The Compleat Idiot so I can dual boot with XP.

...though Ubuntu's setup using GRUB will more or less take care of the bootsector on its own. If you need to reinstall Windows in the future, however, please keep in mind that Windows will eat your bootsector and replace it with its own, so bye-bye Linux. Just a note of caution.
