Keep in mind though that I am new to linux and my original trials were on an HP Pavilion zv5000 laptop. Different hardware will get different results. I'll also mention for a laptop, these seem like good options: 1 SimplyMepis (great hardware support in my case) 2 Ubuntu (rumors of good hardware support, but not my broadcom wifi) 3 Fedora (takes work though) 4 Mandriva (lots of stuff works, but not everything) __________________________________ Yahoo!
