I switched from RedHat to Linux-Mandrake about 1.5-2 years ago... Mandrake has be more stable in my opinion and has had better hardware support (things like USB/TV Tuner/ATA66/100... etc etc) It's proabbly a better choice for a newbie... it comes with more stuff out of the box (READ that as bloat)... but it's pretty good.

Realistically I shoudl say a mandrake 7.2 based system, as I usually end up rebuilding some of the RPMS to break the dependancies for dumb stuff I don't need... but over all I'd say try linux-mandrake.
