... SuSE, Knoppix, Fendora, Debian. All are good choices.

Mandrake is really the only option.

Fedora is a possiblity, but you don't want to mess with the others MGB mentioned. At least not yet. The exception is Knoppix, but thats not really for day to day use.

It doesn't really matter. You can learn how to use Linux from any Linux distro. The question is if you want to force yourself to learn how to use Linux to duplicate a Windows-like environment, or if you just want a Windows-like environment to feel comfortable and just learn when you feel like it.

Do you want to use this as a replacement for your main machine, or as a secondary computer? If secondary, I'd recommend Gentoo. Very good one to learn with, as long as you don't plan on using that as your main machine for a week or so until you get used to it.
