You won't regret it :)

Mandrake is completly the best for beginners. I used it when I was starting out, and it really helped me get the basics down before I switched to Slackware.

Mandrake Linux 9.1 ISO images mirrors for i586 and higher

whats the i586 and all that other stuff mean

(Basically) That's your chip/processor architecture. Most modern pentium/intel and AMD chips are i585 or i686. You can run files designed for your ix86 rating and lower, eg almost all can run i386 binaries :)

It's all to do with increased abilities of processors over time :)

so me having a pent 3 i can run i586 ?

I am almost certain yes :)
