Simply Mepis is simply great. Picked up all my peripherals and was good to
go immediately. It is also available as a live cd so you can try it out,
then install it if you want. HTH, JG

Many of them provide a "live cd" function. I'd recommend giving Ubuntu
a whirl. A lot of peeps like it a lot. Also, you may want to poke
around http://distrowatch.com/. They've a lot of articles, an active
forum, etc for helping one to choose.

I'm guessing that Knoppix is prob still one of the best *live distros*
I am using SUSE 10.1 w/ gnome desktop and like it a lot(Installed)...you
can download free ver. of each at distrowatch......
