Before choosing a GNU/Linux distribution look into the package management issue. http://distrowatch.com/ I would suggest that you avoid all RPM-based distributions (Mandrake, Fedora, SuSE), and consider Debian (+ those based on it) & the source-based distributions (such as Gentoo). I've been using Mandrake for a couple of years but got tired of RPM.
