Hi Craig, Welcome to the list. Glad to here you are a Linux user. Before I would attempt to answer the questions you have posed to the list, I would need to know what you are trying to accomplish with LInux, Desktop Replacement, Mac Like system, minimal system for old hardware etc...... The reason I say that is some of those distributions are in a way built with different ideas in mind. For example, DSL is really ment for minimal systems, old systems or as a live CD. What kind of hardware are you using?
