Suggestions for distro?
I tried installing Slackware 10.2 on my PC at home but I was recieving an error when trying to start xwindows. So I decided not to go with that particular distro right now. I'll figure that problem out later. Right now I'm looking for a distro that will cover a lot of different drivers for video and what-not. I was looking at some distros like Mandriva and Fedora. What would you guys suggest?
P.S.: I'm not sure if this should be in the newbie forum.

Mandriva, SUSE, Fedora. These are the EASIEST you can get I think.
Ubuntu is a possibility.

Go with Fedora .. with the newly released Core 5, it is at present the best Linux has to Offer :-) (In terms of latest drivers and software)
