I tried Mandrake for Windows about 4 years ago and found it to be very user friendly. I had a pro install Redhat for me on my home machine that's networked and bought a new modem. I've never been able to get it to network properly and gave up on it. If I went back to Linux, I'd go with Mandrake, but last I looked my modem wasn't supported.
Thanks for the info... I tried SUSE's home version, but sent it back in disgust because it wouldn't log on to the 'net during install for updates and patches ( despite the fact that their LiveCD did so seamlessly ) and it would not let me log into the system... apparently had a bad disc, although from what I read, modem support is still kind of iffy.
