I use PCLinuxOS. It is the best I've tried at hardware detection and general use. If at any time I travel (any distance), I carry a copy or three with me. Giving a copy to a person I've just met and demoed it to gives us a chance to be friends and gives them an easy to use copy of GNU/Linux. Giving a copy to a friend further cements our friendship. How can you beat that?
PCLinux for me as well, install it, personalize it and make your own live cd. Now that's cool.
It will also allow you to have a full kde desktop on a 512 mb thumb drive.
Been there seen it worn the teashirt etc since about 6 years ago. Now I'm only running Puppy Linux (Rudy version) it's a live CD but has a full installer.
PCLinuxOS, my own special British English DVD version, which is so easy to create! Truly PCLOS is a great live CD but when installed you can make your own specialist Live CD. Its hardware detection makes it great for that job, consider Ruby on Rails, Amarok Live, and Karoshi (educational software system) all live CDs based on PCLinuxOS.
Distribution: OpenSUSE11.1 and Windows XP on desktop, OpenSuse 11.2 on Eee PC

Kanotix
Even though there has not been a new stable release in quite a while, I still enjoy using Kanotix 9(ver. 2006-1-RC4)both as a live CD and as a secondary hd install on my system. It boots up quickly, has the Debian apt utility which I love, and has a great user community.
What does it share my hd with? OpenSUSE 10.2, just to contrast the Debian system with an rpm based system.
Take care.
It's a great distro and I can't wait until the new .94 release. I run it at work, at home and on all the laptops. Looks nice and plays nice what more could I want?
