Ill even stand up and say Ive had great success with RH (not 7.3) as a 
Server OS. (mostly rh 6.2) 

Mandrake is supposed to be very user friendly if you are looking to get 
started and get your feet wet. You should be able to get a system up and 
running no sweat, and then you can modify and tweat from there.
