I'd tend to agree. RH has plenty of support around the place...
* I'd avoid distros like Debian; FreeBSD ...the more heavy-weight
guys :)
...doesn't Mandrake default install have a lot of groups which
would hinder a novice -- but mean less chance of shooting
yourself in the foot ??
...just looking at RH 8.0 ...its a lot less configurable than
prevous versions ...so might also be good for a newbie (it tends
to favous a more GUI aproach to administration, which I'm not
a fan of )

Out of interest if you were recomending a distributon to some one

Red Hat. I suspect Mandrake is slightly easier to use (I've never used
it but I've heard it's good) but you are more likely to stumble across
Red Hat documentation and package files on the 'Net.
