Hello all!

I just bought a new laptop yesterday, and I'm looking to install linux on it.  The distribution I 
currently use is Lycoris Desktop/LX, becuase it's pretty to look at, but it doesn't install (they 
use older software, with emphasis on stability), so I'm looking for suggestions on what distro I 
should try next.  I'm considering buying either Xandros or Lindows(God forbid), or possibly Suse 
becuase of the support that comes with it, but I'm really looking for the cheapest solution 
possible. (Desktop/LX costs $20)  Also, If I bring it in at the next meeting, will someone be able 
to help me get everything running (Wireless card, T1, sound, video (3d accelleration), etc. etc.)  

I've done some research and I've found that in order to get 3D accelleration to work right will 
mean using kernel 2.6, so if you haven't got your feet wet with that yet, this may be your chance.  
This laptop is meant as a tinker toy in addition, so I'm not worried so much about software issues, 
as long as no irrepariable damage is done :)

Thanks!

Josh
