redhat is probably second easiest to set up. i'd say mandrake is
easiest. suse isn't difficult either but has rather awkward
init-scripts (configuration of what is being run on initialisation). i'd
say go with redhat.
i tried mandrake some time ago, and it seemed to be aimed quite directly
to desktop audiences - there was a lot of development stuff missing
which was needed to build custom server software and compiling almost
anything was quite difficult.
debian is nice too, but it's not very newbie-friendly. with all kernel
configuration and so in early phase of install.
never tried slackware though. maybe some day.
all of them seem to be quite different from each others - configuration
files are in different places, software is installed in different places
by default.. bit like different OS.
