which distro should I try?

[XBoxLPU]

Or just do a stable install and dist-upgrade to testing. It costs more in bandwidth but isn't difficult.

Or just grab the latest installer for Testing

[Exodist]

Ubuntu is still the default favorite for most. Boot the LiveCD and see how much of your hardware works out of the box, that'll give you an idea of how much work you have to do to get everything going.

I'm a Debian zealot, which Ubuntu is based off, but the installer is more verbose (which I like) which tends to scare some people.

And actually if you want you can get WoW running under WINE, supposedly it works pretty well.

I agree with this.

Ubuntu if your new.. But Debian is more stable after you get familar with it.
