Thank you all for the great ideas, esp. SecretMethod. I have worked in the IS arena for 16 years and have been working on PCs since DOS 3.3. I know Windows inside and out and now that I have a spare computer, it's time to learn something completely different.
I think starting with Gentoo would be too much for me. I need to start out slowly and simply. I plan to try Knoppix from CD, just to see if it will load on the computer and get a feel for the x interface. From there it sounds like Mandrake will be the way to go. Once I have a few months (or years) of experience with it I can look into something more serious like gentoo.
