I never said I was a newbie...I run redhat from TWM command line...or KDE depending on my mood and level of alchohol consumption.  So with the command line down and a little understanding of shell scripting (both of wich I have)...I'll be able to run slackware. Although Fedora still looks tempting..and I won't have to change my avatar.

I started on Red Hat, then switched to Mandrake 9.1.  Ive never had any problems with it, and it is extremely easy to learn on.  Therefore, suggesting Mandrake.

I totally agree.  I'm using Mandrake 9.1 (dual boot with Winblows 98 SE) & am finding it pretty easy to pick up.  It's quite stable too.  I'd recommend Mandrake 9.1 to anyone.  Can't wait to check out 9.2!  

Unforgiven1:
just downloaded Fedora core 1...installed it.  VERY nice distro...though almost identical to RH9  seems to be faster, and they took away the text bootup in exchange for a more asthetically pleasing thingumy.

Mandrake 9.2 has been out there for a while, and my suggestion for people running Mandrake 9.1 is to stay with it.

I find 9.2 to have some bad bugs. I'm actually looking for a new distro that is more stable than Drake.

All in all, Mandrake is fairly good to learn Linux. I started with Slack and that was a mistake, but I look forward to using it sometime in the near future.

I also installed Knoppix in my HD (not running it from CD) and it's looking pretty smooth. I may try Debian.
