I'm pretty certain I'm not the only one who uses more than one distro (actually, on my x86es, Mandrake outnumbers FC1 4:1... :-) ), and I might no necessarily recommend Mandrake over Fedora, even though I use both. Personally, for a beginner I think I'd tend to recommend Mandrake. I have no hard facts to support this, more a general feeling that Mandrake has less "rough edges". I went from RHL 7.3 to MDK9.1/9.2 and FC1 at the same time and it took me less time to get used to MDK than to FC, even though I was coming from a RedHat background. E.g. I had urpmi working a lot faster than yum (and I still went back to wget+rpm in the end for updates, as I just can't seem to remember yum/urpmi options, whereas wget+rpm works 100% all the time on all machines I have, even the Aurora Sparc Linux boxes).
