Sure, you can get those for free, and they are even pretty easy to setup.
I would choose between the two distributions you just named--Mandrake or RedHat, which is now called Fedora. Both are very good systems, easy to run, and very easy to install. Personally I would choose Fedora, but it is a completely personal choice. Just go download and burn the ISOs for one of them, and go for it.
