For a new home user, I would indeed suggest the use of SuSE powerfull,
sleek and easy to install.

I suspect that it would simply detect all of your hardware without too
much battering, i mean encouragement... ;-)

ADSL wise, which ADSL modem do you have, is it USB or ethernet ?

What are your network settings in windows (i suspect it will be using
DHCP, or "autoconfiguration") ? If DHCP is used.. simple.. use the same..
