I have tried recently this distros:

Mandrake 9
Red Hat 8
Peanutlinux
Knoppix (runs on cd and ramdisk)


My opinion:

Knoppix it's nice to test the compatibility of a computer with linux, 
without changing any byte in the hd. You can in 5 minutes set up a apache 
web server in a computer, for example.

Mandrake - easy to use, easy to install, automount your partitions to acess 
window files. Few programas. Smaller then Red HAT.

RED HAT - I have some problems with boot after instalation but after some 
reinstalations (3 !) I could solve them. Has more programs than mandrake, 
but I have a lot of problems instaling new packages....
The EE editor, for example, did not work.

Pealinux - I cannot enter in X after installation. Could only work in text 
mode. Very small. Basic iso 300mb.
