My $0.02:
Try FreeBSD. It's a nice transition from the really graphical systems to a more 'from-scratch' sorta system. A good 'in-between' to learn more about GNU/*NIX systems.

Subject: [clug-talk] I'm ready to try a new distro
I'm looking for a new distro, to try on my testing box. I tried
Mandrake and found that it was overly simplified, and hid too many
options far away from where I could see them. I'm looking for something
between Mandrake and Gentoo in terms of ease-of-configuration and
control. So far I've also tried Fedora/RedHat (last on FC1, which I
didn't like), and Debian (which, I dunno, just seems kinda boring).
I've heard good things about SuSE, so I might go over to Nexus and pick
up a boxed set. I'm also thinking about trying a BSD (likely FreeBSD)
or doing a Linux From Scratch.
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Andrew
