I basicly re-cut my teeth, after a decade or so, on Gentoo. I did have someone to ask stupid questions of to keep moving and I did have limited Linux experience.

I'm sure Mandrake would be fine for you. The key is, if we're being honest, is to pick a distribution based on more than it's cool name. I always liked the sound of Caldera.... :)

Gentoo does need frequent, but reasonable, attention and this in my case has made me more familliar with aspects of both the distro and Linux itself. Gentoo also has very good installation instructions online.
