Mandrake, absolutely.
I've tried several ones, Red Hat, Debian, Slackware, SuSe, and MDK.
Mandrake, followed by SuSe, would be my choice for the uses you 
describe.

If you can support Mandrake by buying a boxed set, that would be 
good. If funds are scarce, you can get a 3 or 5 CD set from 
http://cheapbytes.com for a few bucks. I highly recommend them, 
always have had good service. 

If you have high-speed internet, then you *might* download one of 
these, but I don't recommend that at all. You'll miss out on literally 
thousands of programs - some great, some not so great. If you get 
the CD's, they're there, when you're bored, you can try a few.
