first things first...why don't you plug in a few live CDs to see how they go?

thanks for your response. trouble is I haven't got any cds to try. am aiming to get involved with some plug community members events here in my home town Perth but they are not for a few weeks and so no access to cds with distro's as yet. Also downloads are not so easy to get because there is restrictions on downloading data at most wireless sites I get to use. I kept getting cut off last time I tried here at this spot, when I last tried a few days ago. I can work it if I know something definite, or make it happen somehow by getting to the right place to download something, but need to know a definite distro to try one that suites what I want to do. Hence the reason I asked what I did. I really need some advice specific advice and the reasons for the referal to that particular distro. I am trying here first because am under the impression it is a good place to get this kind of information from, it must have people who use the distro's and know from personal experience.
I have had wamp on a windows device which I used for a long time. Lamp is the linux eqivalent and was around before wamp as I understand it. I was going to do ahead and load it onto this ubuntu device but would like to know if it is preferable to use another distro or if there are alternative distro's that can be used, maybe distro's geared more for a laptop like the Satelite I am using.
