Hi, I am a linux newbie. I want to try to learn linux, and i downloaded the 3CD Mandrake install from this site, and I heard Suse is easier to learn. Someone please help me choose my first linux. Mandrake sounds really nice to me though

You can start with Mandrake. Or rather Mandriva. Suse is not bad for beginners, but its not free.

Mandriva is quite easy to install and set up. Mandrake (Mandriva) was the first distribution I managed to get working successfully, when I began trying to use Linux. SUSE is a very nice distro and I tried it first, however I encountered some issues I could not resolve with it. That was when I tried Mandrake. I'm getting ready to try SUSE again, due to a supposed easier method of setting up SATA RAID, however the last SUSE version I tried was a couple of years ago. I think you probably would be successful and happy with either distribution.
