Thanks

As others have mentioned, Fedora is a good distro, and very popular with this group.
I'm running SuSE 9.2 on the system on which I'm composing this, and I like it a lot. SuSE's YAST installer/package management tool is as good as anything I have found.
Gentoo is recommended only if you have plenty time on your hands and want to learn all about Linux, rather then just installing a system that works.
I've also been impressed by a couple of smaller distros, Mepis and Ubuntu. These are Debian-based, fit on a single CD, and an intelligent chimpanzee could handle the install. Mepis has now replaced SuSE on my primary laptop.
