I dont think anyone has a complete list of all the different distributions, there are looaads of them.
People who are new to linux usually go for mandrake or redhat because they're pretty easy to install. I would still do some reading before you install them though. Theres a good sticky post with loads of tutorials in the linux section of this board, this site has a massive list of distributions and the pros and cons of each.

More than a thousand I'm guessing... to search for some click here or here.
RedHat? Big no-no for a noob.

For power, use Gentoo or SuSE Pro, but I doubt you'll get to that level soon.

How come? I found it to be as easy as mandrake when I first started getting into linux.

For some people (including me the first time), just the bootloader can be a nightmare.

A bootdisk instead of using a bootloader will fix that

Get em off bittorent if it's a distro like suse, xandros, lindows.
Xandros is just a copycat of lindows IMO.
And boot disk work a little better because you do not have to touch your mbr and that saves some people the hassle of getting linux to boot. You should always have a bootdisk handy anyway, wether you have a bootloader or not.
