I'm a newbie to the list, but have been using Linux since March, 2003. I switched over to Linux out of sheer frustration when my Windows XP installation got hosed and I was required to call MS for reauthorisation. I installed Mandrake then and have recently switched to Fedora as it's a 'home product (I live in NC). I must say, whilst the learning curve was interesting, to say the least, I'll not go back to Windows. I do prefer Redhat to Mandrake, but do recommend Mandrake for its ease of installation and setup for those new to Linux. Another suggestion is to burn a Knoppix CD and see how it runs on your pc from the CD-Rom drive.
