dear community, its so nice to be back and look at everyone's issues..the query that brings me here today is the fact that i just bought a notebook some 15 days back and so far i am stuck with using VISTA (why does microsft have to mimic everything we do at *nix)..because i need some of the basic windows programs for my office i find it digestible to work on it for small time but for me i would rather like a linux distribution that works well.. i am probably looking for a something that has good hardware base, good software repository and updated goodies are easier to find with it.i generally like catchy graphics and cool effects that make linux so smooth! and may be some internet and multimedia options would be a basic need.not to forget some networking features will kick in too.quite frankly i have not been using linux for past 6 months so finding a distro from all new ones in the market seems very tiring for me.. please recommend me couple of disributions that i may be able to look at..my specs are as under: notebook:hp pavilion dv 2000 model: dv2834ca processor: intel C2D T5550 i.e. 1.8G 2MB L2 667MHz FSB RAM: 3GB HDD:320GB Toshiba MK3252GSX Display: 14' with intel 965 chipset on board adapter Optical: DVD RW multilayer lightscribe Wifi: intel wireless 4965AGN NIC: marvell yukon 88E8039 pci-e fast ethernet 5 in 1 card reader: ricoh xd sd mmc memory stick reader modem: HDAUDIO soft data fax modem cam: hp 1.3mg web cam (currently using cyberlink youcam with it) bluetooth and mic and headphones.. it prpbably all i can find in my device manager.. kindly tell me looking at this machine what distro should i look to.. awaiting anxiously umair
