I tried Mepis, but it wouldn't recognize my keyboard...

I have used and installed Knoppix on my hard drive and it really isn't 
that hard to install.  My only problem was I wanted a compiled kernel 
for the ivtv driver and I couldn't tell which one they used (ie, what 
patches they applied). 

I finally just put Debian on the machine and installed the kernel I 
wanted and the sofware I wanted.  Nothing wrong with that.
