I'm not surprised that you're still a little confused. Hopefully 
you've worked out who in this thread is providing useful info and 
who is providing clueless comments.

You won't go far wrong with either choice, they are more similar 
than different, and the differences between either and other 
distributions of Linux is greater than the differences between U. 
and M. M. is specifically designed to get most home users up and 
running with multi-media and a range of utilities that they can use 
'out of the box'. Support on the Ubuntu forums (recommended) apply 
to both. Just jump in and enjoy!
