so i was googlin' and i came across this page. http://walbran.org/sean/linux/linux.html

it recommended redhat 6.2. do you guys think i should use that? or maybe a different distro? i prefer one that has the least amount of problems. it seems i can already use the xfree86 config that he provided and use the alsa drivers for audio.

also when it comes to networking which company/product is the most linux friendly? it has to be a usb wifi device (no pcmcia slot :( or ethernet jack). it can be 802.11b cause i think the usb port is usb v1.1 anyway. any in mind?

TIA :D
