I have sampled RedHat, SuSe Slackware and Mandrake. Whereas Slackware (used 9.0) was a working almost immediately after install, I think it lags behind when it comes to the latest software unless you are a fun of the SANE environment I use a RedHat 7.2 (running a samba PDC) at work only because am so used to the way everything is organised under RedHat. The other reason is the fact that many faq, howtos and numerous linux related documentation is written with a primary focus on redhat with of course hints on other distros. So its easier for not-so-advanced users like me to keep track :)
