I have been using fedora for a long time now... and am a fan of this OS its so easy to use and program in it and the commands are simple.
Now i am planning to try another linux distro ... can anyone suggest me which one should i go for... it should be easy to use , i mean commands and other stuff...GUI should be gud etc.
I dont wanaa spend lots of time learning on how to use it ... it should have gud hardware support specially wireless ipw3945 abg card and nvidia go 7400 grafix card ... atleast ...

please suggest ... i want to install it on my HP dv5100 series laptop.

thnx

SuSE 10.0 is very good for laptops and so forth.

FYI, Intel have a driver for that wireless card on their website. What do you mean by "GUI should be gud"? Define good..

well it took me a struggle to get wireless working on fedora so wanted another distribution wch totally supports it...

The driver isn't in the vanilla kernel (i.e. the totally unmodified one) but I'm not sure how easy it is to find a distro with it in the kernel, short of just getting different live CDs and trying those out, to see if it's detected.
