As the subject hints at, which would you recommend for someone with a small amount of linux experience? At one time I tried Redhat 8 and Mandrake 9 and found Redhat to be a much better OS; for one thing Mandrake didn't work with DHCP no matter what I did while Redhat didn't require any configuration whatsoever to get a connection.

I know Mandrake has more in the way of multimedia, but I can download all that (mp3 patch for Redhat was one of the first things I installed when I installed RH8).
