I know this question has been asked about 100 times already, but I know this forum is very helpful. I've recently acquired a decent laptop (considering it was free) that consists of Intel Centrino technology (1.5-2.0 GHz and about 256MB of RAM. I'd like to know a good KDE-Based distro that would fare good on a laptop like that. I've tried Mandrake and I could never get my cable modem working correctly with that distribution...Fedora Core 2, which from my experience seemed to have stability problems, and Debian (which is gnome-based, at least I believe). While I enjoyed debian, I'd like to get acquainted with a few other distros before buckling down and choosing a final os.
I'm not really using this as anything special, as I have no need for a server of anykind, and I'm using Windows for gaming. My only use would just to get a better feel for the inner workings of Linux (I'd rather get used to compiling things..etc. instead of relying on certain package managers..such as Yast and the like). That and I am beginning to program.
Any help would be much appreciated.
