I've been wanting to swtich to Linux for a while now. I wanted to wait until I made an image of Windows, which is just around the corner. I've done a little bit of reading and have decided between Redhat (now Fedora apparently), SuSe, and Mandrake. I've used Linux for about 5 total minutes so I don't really have much experience with it. The only thing that I can claim to my name is I have logged onto a linux server to use VI to code some C programs.

So, which version of Linux would you recommend for a beginner Linux user (out of the three)? I don't really feel like installing each and using them for several weeks (seems like too much work for me

). I'm pretty sure that I could learn Linux quickly enough. I plan on dual booting with W2kPro.
