I am getting things together for my new computer. I am going to be switching to Linux for this one (at least till Longhorn comes out, then i'll run a dual-boot probably.) For any one that uses Linux, what would you recommend for a distribution? I am leaning toward Mandrake right now.

if it is your first time with linux then mandrake is a good choice. fedore core is decent as well. but if you do not want to install anything and want an all-in-one distro go with Novell's SuSE 9.3. freebsd is also good

I have been trying out a copy of Move on my windows computer, so that is why i think Mandrake would work good.

People like gentoo b/c you can compile all the source according to your system to optimize your software 100% for the hardware you might have )
