I primarily run slakware, and have done from the first linux install I

slakware install wasn't as hard to me as most people make out.

Caldera lite (www.caldera.com) is a really nice one based on rpm's, and
is a pretty good installation prog and a good looking version of fvwm

I'd say try all of them, and then take the one you like.  hope you've
got plenty of disk.
