i second the mandrake vote.
I have some unix and solaris experience, but never used linux before last year. I've installed mandrake on a spare HD a few times and used it to just poke around without fail. Though if you dont have any plans to use it for anything "useful" or arent a big GNU crusader.. i really fail to see the point of running Linux at home.
It is a great way to waste time and learn more about different aspects of computing technology though. Go to your local library and check out some linux books and just read through them to get a feel for the environment before you buy anything. A lot of documentation is online for linux, but you can waste a lot of time searching for accurate and credible information. Books are good for something still..
