Hi Try using the PCQuest Linux 8. I installed it 2 weeks ago on my PC without any problem. In fact, it was actually close to 1-2-3 Click, WOW kind of experiance that you are asking for. Ofcourse, many other distros give you the same thing. The advantage of PCQuest CD (as i explained in an earlier mail) is that it is modified from RedHat Distro to include things we generally want, like Cyberoam client for Cable Internet, MSN and Yahoo Messangers and Accounting Software GNUCash.
But also keep in mind what others have told you, re. checking out the hardware list. If you already have a separate partition which you can make use of for loading GNU\Linux, then it is a better option. I have always used a separate harddisk or an unused / spare partition of a harddisk. I was perhaps lucky to have a spare partition available. During the installation, you may need to further divide the available partition into one for the swap space and the other for the linux file systems like ext3. Alternate, you can keep it in FAT or VFAT format if you want that part of the drive to be accessed by windows. I have limited experience and expertise in Linux, so I hope anyone reading it will point out any errors in the above para.
