Maybe you will not like the idea but I suggest Slackware. They say it's complicated and it's not for newbies... well, I started using it when i was still a newbie (maybe i still am ^_^) but now I'm literally in love with it. You have to work hard and learn a lot but if reading lots of howtos does not scare you, once you have learnt and try do setup something in slackware you are sure it works. And, in a week of slackware I learnt much more than 1 year and half of mandrake. I still love Mandrake, I still install it on my sister's computer and if someone new to linux asks me what to use I have always the Mandrake cds ready to be borrowed, but I think it's a distro that works great at the beginning but sooner or later you want to learn to do things by your own hands... otherwise you would not be using linux ^_^
