I can strongly recommend looking at www.ubuntu.com
This distro is gaining in popularity, is based on Debian.
My wifi worked with no effort on my part apart from the security code.
My Multi Function printer/scanner/card reader is connected to my Ubuntu
machine and the printer and scanner is all available to my network.

It's worth noting that there is a new release of Ubuntu due in a few days.

I already have Xubuntu installed, along with Slackware (can't remember
which versions, it's a while since I played with them). I spent some
time trying to run my favourite mail and news apps on Wine, then trying
to find Linux equivalents that I liked as much, but it's just too easy
to go back to the familiarity of Windoze despite my good intentions.
I'll keep trying. :-)
