redhat or mandrake?

yea, i've run plenty of kde apps with it just fine, and i've never really used window maker before, maybe i'll check it out

I reccomend mandrake! I bought the power pack for about

I'm a SuSE user and literally threw away my mandrake disks right after when I tried to install it on my second pc, right after the point where it could only make 39mb free to install it on (while SuSE had no problems shrinking my wincrap partition) but right now that pc is running slackware so I can toy around a bit with it. I had a friend who had installed mandrake on his own and threw it off his pc after a week orso, I just installed SuSE this weekend on his pc and he's absolutely extatic about the ease of use of it (plus the fact that he can play rtcw at 50+ fps really did it :D )

See the threadMandrake Install on SCSI System
Mandrake has almost put me off Linux for good.

In my experience, there are few things that mandrake is finicky about (VIA KT chipsets), albeit in your case, without step-by-step details, it is hard to judge.
You can always try another distro, RedHat, Elx, Lycoris (Redmond), SuSE. I have about 4 desktop and 3 server types in my cache and if one does not work, I try another one. There are some differences, but it's all linux.
I think that in your case, SuSE may work well.
