Well you'll certainly get good support from SLUG for Ubuntu.
I found SUSE the best for install and go for wireless etc. Ubuntu (my
mileage) still needed a lot of fiddling.
The next Ubuntu 7.04 may be a little more flexible as its incorporating a
number of commercial drivers etc. but that subject is for another flame war
at another time :-)
I've seen little or no discussion of Linspire and Freespire
on the list. It is seen as the pyriah of the distros?
I did download and install the Freespire live CD. Worked first
time on a Sony Vaio, although the wireless would not come up.
I'm interested in something like Freespire eating into the Mickeysoft
desktop space, since that distro provides non-purists with legal
and free as in beer access to all the multi-media drivers / codecs /
other fru-fru that one needs to compete with a Winders or Mac
MM desktop.
