Distributions like RedHat and Mandrake seem to be the easiest to set up 
and use. Gentoo requires some set up. It's not difficult, but it's not 
out-of-the-box. Also, everything you install will need to be compiled, 
as Gentoo doesn't natively support binary packages. Gentoo has its own 
"portage" system, where packages you want will be automatically 
compiled, and optimized for your processor.
