I have also had good luck with Mandrake, and it's the distribution I use for 
most of my work.  (Unfortunately, I hear they're in financial trouble.)  Red 
Hat's pretty good, too, but I hear people are having problems with 8.0.  I 
did an install of 8.0 on an older machine without trouble, though.  SuSE used 
to be my favorite a few revisions back; but I had some major problems with 
the install on the new version 8.1 - but that was on an older machine that 
wouldn't boot from CD, and the trouble I had was installing the SCSI CD 
drivers.
