Anna,Not to turn the list into a forum for distro pros/cons, but I just migrated away from Mandrake recently. After looking at what was available, I decided on SuSE. It's a well put together distro that is only a bit more complex to install than Drake was. As for actually using it, I've found it to "just plain work" unlike a lot of my experience with Drake (especially when it came to fonts and 3D support).
I compared RedHat, Debian, Slack, Gentoo, SuSE, and Drake when I made my decision. RedHat is too geared for the server market right now, Debian is nice but still requires a PhD to install, Slack's future seems questionable even though it is still a nice distro with some real hardcore supporters, and Gentoo seemed a bit to niche for what I wanted.
