Mandrake 8.1?

It's quite easy to install provided you don't want to do anything complicated and it's probably got enough hardware support.

But if you want to play games then you may as well forget it, any recent games will almost always require the parts that Windows gives it. They are all set-up to install on Windows with Install shield or something equivalent.

Not a very helpful answer I'm afraid...

I just downloaded Mandrake 8.1 to test it out. I noticed at the web site there is a special gamers edition of Mandrake and I remeber reading a review somewhere for it. I would check out the Mandrake site. As for non gaming I had no problems instaling and have been using it for a couple of days.

This would require a fairly long and drawn out answer depending on what you're trying to do with it. The short answer is that Mandrake is an outstanding system with an easy to use interface, but strong adaptability for the power user. Oh, and you can play games using something to the effect of the Wine emulator.
