Jad,
I highly recommend Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Professional Workstation. The product costs about $100 US in stores and comes with a year of RHN updates (which are downloaded automatically). Doing a basic install is quite easy. I would only suggest having big enough partitions and installing "Everything" as this save you the trouble of finding and installing RPMs later. You'll need something like this for partitions:
/boot 100M
/ 1GB
/usr 5GB-6GB (IF you DO NOT have a separate /usr/local and plan to install "Everything")
/swap 1x or 2x physical RAM (up to a single 2GB swap file on a workstation)
/var 2GB-4GB (this is where updates will be automatically downloaded and where mail goes)
/home the rest
/opt if you want somewhere other than home to put stuff
RHEL 3 WS is truly great.
