This mailing list is not for general-linux help. It is dedicated to solving installation and administration problems for XFree86 for any OS. You will get more help if you ask on one of the lists specific to your problem. Any of the current Linux distributions will be sufficient for your needs: Mandrake, Red Hat, Debian, Slackware, SuSE are all very mainstream and well-supported. There are many, many other excellent distributions some with advantages for particular situations, but seeing as you're learning you're better joining a community with lots of members.
