I tried the free distros, Knoppix, Mandrake Linux free version, and Dubian.

If you like GUI style, then Mandrake is it. I understand with a good connection, and a few days of pure dedication, one could have Dubian really customized, and sleek.

This machine is dual, WinXP-Pro w/SP2, and Mandrakelinux. Each are very similar, but each so very different. My understanding is one should ride the fence with a learner distro, and then fully commit to one or the other. I have both, but as the saying goes, Win is way easier, and I've gotten lazy lately.

The current Mandrakelinux PowerPack @ 49Euro, is a strong contender in the multimedia realm. If you do go, join the MandrakeClub as well, it provides a weekly, and as needed newsletter. Along with some good ads, and savings notice.
