Thanks. Glad I could actually offer something useful.
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)
