Kewl ragweed! Try them all out.
Let me just say that, SuSE, Redhat and Mandrake will have a much easier
installer. Try FreeBSD, once you have it running FreeBSD will be much easier,
mainly because of the wonderful ports and package system that allow you to
install software. Otherwise the two systems are 90% the same to the user but
FreeBSd is a total operating system unlike Linux which is just a bunck of software
thrown together.

If you decide to use FreeBSD make sure you read the Hanbook. Pretty much all
the info you will require is there, and step by step instructions.
