Glad to hear you are moving towards Linux :)

Check out Knoppix, it's a live CD ( you just put it in your drive, reboot, and you're in Linux ).

It's Debian-based, and a great way to see if your hardware/etc. works with Linux, get on the internet etc. without having to actually install it on your hard drive.

Knoppix allows you to install to your hard drive once you're sure you want it; since it's Debian-based you can upgrade it over the internet, install free software, change the GUI, etc. all over the internet for no charge.

Knoppix is ok. My friend is setting up my firewall with Gentoo on it. I did Mandrake for a while, but updating it was a pain. Gentoo looks like it will make that much better.
