Default Which Linux!

Hey, I want to "have some fun" with my old computers harddisk
Means I wanna download a Linux OS and play around on it

But I need some advice for which Linux OS I should chose,
I'm had Ubuntu, which didn't seem to be, the one I should use
I reasonly downloaded Mandriva. I was able to boot from the DvD And it looked nice, but I wasn't able to install it..

Anyways..
Which Linux OS do you guys advice me to use? or which do you use your self, and what is good about it?

Thanks

the 64 bit versions aren't the best, just go for a 32 bit version

Puppy Linux is small and easy. The site even has instructions on how to download and burn iso.
