If you want to get USED to Linux then Mandrake, SUSe, et al. are still probably great choices (I haven't run them in awhile so I can't speak to it directly).
IMHO, if you want to LEARN Linux then Slackware, Gentoo, LFS, et al. are great choices since they practically force you to get into the internals of the system. The drawback is that it can be rather time consuming and/or frustrating figuring things out. The real benefit is a deep understanding of how a Linux system works. My 2 cents.
