It might be a good thing to gain some knowledge about these differences and on how far concepts are different.

If it is an USB device you are not too wrong on the list (better yet: serching the web on your own and ask if specific items are still unclear then), if its nit USB better ask at another place (this is an USB-Linux mailing list as you may have noticed) [...] > The Applications were excellent and Comparable to Microsoft office.

Mabe after serching the Web a Slackware user list is a good place to start at. But read the FAQ first an search the list archives. > I am looking for a Linux flavor, that would configure the printer, > sound and video better. Find out how to configure your hardware with slackware. (I cant't help you there, happily using SuSE an Debian Linux). You will save time for a new install *plus* you will learn about your new operating system. It's worth. > Some of the flavors I have heard of are Red Hat, Debian, SuSe, and > SlackWare, Well, they actually are not too different in how they are working although the administration tools are differen. Debian has its reputation for beeing very stable after long testing (and therefor beeing a bit difficult on support of some new hardware).
