7.1 Source Code CD Please read this before ordering. Besides being very good, Redhat is what most of the KLUG officers use and we can offer you the best support with any questions you may have. I have very limited experience with most distributions, other than Redhat. I have installed, or attempted to install, most of the distributions I offer. Plus I have messed around with them for a short period of time after installation.
Mandrake is a very nice and popular distribution.
It is based on Redhat but compiled for Pentium or above for a performance boost. Caldera has an extemely impressive Install program. If you want try Linux without repartitioning your Windows hard drive, you might want consider Phat Linux, or Winlinux. Both install in your windows free space. This is a good way to try Linux, but not for a serious Linux user because there may be a slight performance penalty and file permission limitations.
