I've honestly only use Red Hat and it's reasonable IMO.

I'm like you, haven't Linuxed yet but I heard while asking pre-install questions, that Mandrake is the best for beginers

I have Mandrake, SuSE, RedHat, Knoppix

Knoppix runs from the CD, no install

I've got to be the king of procrastination. had Knoppix sice September, September of what year you ask?

Redhat's gone commercial (except for Fedora, what is that anyway?). From what i've heard Suse and Mandrake are the best. I cant test them though because i cant download the install for suse or the isos for mandrake on dialup.

yes mandrake is excellent for beginers

for more advanced use different distros serve their purpose but i think mandrake is one of the best for just internet/multimedia/if you can find any good ones, linux games and just about anything a home user would do.

One of the BSD's or Slackware.

Don't go w/ those "sissy" distros that try to make it easy for you.

OMG, this is like those "Which is better? Win2k, XP or 2003" threads.

But just for the heck of it, I'll vote for RH. Of course if you're hard core, just get BSD
