I commonly reccommend nowadays to try out Ubuntu. It is a simple distro that fits on one cd. It includes the latest gnome, which is simpler than kde.
You would find it simple to use, and it has good hardware detection. The firegl drivers are not included but come on the apt repository. There is a good howto do alot of things on www.ubuntuguide.org
telling you how to install your videocard drivers, etc...
It works quite well, is simple and easy to use and includes most needed software.
