Mandrake adds a few newbie-targeted utilities and stuff like that, but other than that, they're basically the same.

if you want to actually learn the operating system, then it doesn't much matter which distro you go with. what you have to do is open up your terminal and play around with stuff from the command line as opposed to just using the different graphical packages included with different distros.

Ouch. You really know how to hurt a guy :)

Seriously, I know it's true, but as a newbie
I kinda feel like I'm in school again. It
would be nice if there were a list (not
alphabetical, but sorted by function) of
all the Unix\Linux line commands. If I knew
them, I'd do it! oh well..
