From what I've read Mandrake is the best for desktop apps and for newbies
(like me). I've been using windows since 3.11(currently XP home) and was
wondering if anybody here uses Linux, and how does it compare to XP?



I use as many OS's as I can get my hands on.

Mandrake is probably as good as any to get started on...
give it a try and judge for yourself.
