Xandros should also be of interest to anyone wanting Linux, but not the hassle. It even configures Nvidia for you and installs the browser ready to go with all plugins.
Never mind ... the install crashed when downloading files ...
I just installed debian with the 2.4.? kernel and am ready to get it to work. I'm gonna try getting my NIC running first, then just using apt-get to fetch x-window-system
why don't you try knoppix? you can upgrade it to debian sid by editing the /etc/apt/apt.conf and /etc/apt/sources.list and it should be able to detect your hardware..... at the least you can run it as a live cd to see if it will work well enough with your hardware.
