It'll take you months to learn about all the packages that come with Linux.
If you install ALL of Redhat, that's something like over a thousand packages.
Each package is a software product.
Um... what do you want to do, that's the question. The programs I'm currently running (visibly) are xmms, Mozilla, a couple of Eterms and *****X - that is, a media player, a web browser, space to do random stuff in and start programs, and IRC. Nothing fancy. Generally, when you're using Linux, you don't have to download a lot of third-party software - what you need is already packaged and only needs to be installed with the package manager. Just find out how to get urpmi up and running (if it isn't already configured) before you start installing stuff - believe me, you do not want dependency hell.
Provided that you don't get into trouble with dependencies, you're fine. A bit of Mozilla, OpenOffice and the nice terminals can do the stuff. But, if you have the space, I highly recommend you install most packages. Things like GIMP are also cool.

Which is better? Ret Hat Linux or Mandrake Linux ?
I am about to get a computer that will be my Linux machine, so I want to make my money count. Thanks!

Mandrake is built on Red Hat, and has been enhanced with tools to make configuration much simpler. However, most Red Hat packages will also run on Mandrake, so you should be able to run just about any Linux software.
If this is your first Linux experience, you do want Mandrake.

well, i have windows on this computer, but i built a computer for a chick and she gave me her old one (600MHz celeron). And i'm taking a class that involves unix, et al, so it would be nice to have a system to play with. I got mandrake 9.0 up and running on it, and i'm just starting to play with it!

You want to get Program A. Program A requires Program B 2.38 and Program C 2.13.
You have Program B 2.10 and don't have Program C.
Program A stomps its feet and tells you you're naughty for not having the correct version of B and don't have C at all, and won't do anything...
It gets far worse the longer you run the OS too.

btw, is it possible to get the linux comp to see the shared folders on winXP comps on the same network?
