gentoo is tough to get up and running, but great afterwards.
i wouldnt suggest it if you are very new to linux.

it really depens on what you need it for, though.
whatever siuts your personal preference.

i like medialinux2 , but thats cuase im doing alot of video/sound stuff at the moment.

distrowatch has a huge list of distros, go there and find one you want.

www.libranet.com is all you'll ever want. Easy & stable.

Slackware all the way. But WHY would you want to change your distro ???
'cos the saying goes:
If it ain't broke dont fix it.

AFTER MANDRAKE! Why???

Lol, really though, any reasons why you would switch FROM Mandrake instead of TO Mandrake?
