Have heard good things about Mandrake. I grew up on the Unix homeworld myself (internet in the early '90s) and always wanted to get into Linux. Transplanted myself to Macs two years ago, just because they are so well behaved. Was even thinking of investing in MandrakeSoft--I think it was about 4.7 Euro a share. Have you heard of a Canadian company called Merlin Software Technologies? They make something called Perfect Backup for Linux and have some other add-ons.
