little confused!!

Since you are new to Linux I would recommend Linux Mint 5 and Mandriva 2008.1. I would say download both Mint 5 and Mandriva.. If you want professional/better Linux support Mandriva 2008.1 is for you , if you want everything out of the box , everything from HD playback to useful tools Linux Mint 5 is for you ..Check these links .. http://www.techenclave.com/open-source/linux-mint-5-elyssa-released-112776.html | Mandriva review ...http://www.techenclave.com/reviews-and-previews/mandriva-2008-1-spring-edition-breath-111577.html

Apart from that you can order Ubuntu Cd's , if you are interested in having Multiple Linux by your side.. https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
 
No they don't .. Beryl is an old Project which has merged with Compiz to provide a spanking new 3D composite Manager.. known as Compiz Fusion / /Compiz fusion comes pre-installed in both of 'em :)
