---- BEGIN OPINION BLOCK ----

I'd recommend Mandrake 7.2.  It's based on RedHat, is compiled for Pentium, 
so it's a bit faster, and it defaults to KDE for the graphical desktop, for 
which I have a personal preference.  It KOffice and StarOffice, so you get 
a high degree of Windows file compatibility, and it's fairly easy to 
configure.
