Ok,
Thanks for all the advice, I've taken a look at
all the replies and based on the suggestions and comments and come to the
conclusion:
Mandrake seems the best as far as recomendations
go, I've read a lot of good stuff about it, and it seems that there won't be
any hardware problems. Only problem is getting hold of a copy of it, I know
Mark offered some help with that, so that's a possible route.
Knoppix was suggested as a livecd, but it doesn't
sound quite so well supported as I would like, and I'd really like to just get
stuck into Linux as a full HD install and see what it's like, maybe in the
future I can play with different distributions in livecd format.
Debian was also mentioned (knoppix is based on
it) so maybe that could be a possibility similar to knoppix but with more
support? I don't know quite how similar those two are.
SuSE sounds well supported, maybe popular too,
and it's cheap for a boxed set to, or atleast by my reckoning, £20 on
amazon.co.uk.
Did someone mention Mandrake on a cd with a linux
magazine? Which one was that?
