Thank you for taking the time out to answer a paranoid novices question.
I would still would like to change distributions. Could anyone give me
recommendations and possibly sell me a distribution.
Your average distribution is down-loadable from the respective websites.
For a novice I strongly suggest Ubuntu (or Kubuntu depending upon your
preference of GNOME vs KDE).

I think I've got a pretty current version of Ubuntu. I've certainly got debian
and knoppix latest. I've also got an uncapped ADSL connection at work ( heh ).
As always, my advice is to use the distro the person who will be helping you
most is familiar with, 'cos there really aint much difference (except in the
details), except for a choice of two guis - Gnome and KDE.

(Writing from FC4, with debian to my right and CentOS, Gentoo, OpenSolaris,
FreeBSD and FC3 at work as well. I scrapped Vector Linux at work because it
wasn't technical enough for my rather specialised needs, but would recommend
that as a starting point as well).
Any chance that I could get you to download the latest Gentoo for me
Steve, if you could write it to DVD that would be excellent. Happy to
pay for the media of course.
Thanks Lance
