Yes, go with a i686 one if you have a P4. However, I would rather go for a better distro than one specifically compiled for i686. It maybe faster but you won't see any difference on a P4.

There should be a few RPM tools included with both redhat and mandrake. Just look for them. I know, there're way way too many choices to make in linux, that's what make them hard to use IMO. But then linux is probably more targetting the geeks than needs.

To make a screenshot, you have to use that screen dump program. Can't remember the name off my head but you just have to go through all the programs one by one.

As for commands, do you mean the console ones or things to run in the GUI? For console, you should print out a reference card like http://www.indiana.edu/~uitspubs/b017/b017.pdf

Hope this helps.
