after seeing a few posts about people sick of windows, i've decided to jump ship.

So i have this pretty sweet laptop. It's an hp with a turion 64, 1gb of ram, 100gig drive, dvd rw wifi all the fun stuff.

for some reason i am just sick of windows. i don't know why but after using windows for so long, i am just sick of it!

i am looking for a distro of linux that i can load on my laptop that has wifi support, dvd/cd burning support.....and also will still let me use my card reader thats internal

all i really do when i come on is look at a few different sites, like this ytmnd wargrounds ebaums a couple other car sites and thats it. i also do papers for school and like i have a decent sized picture collection.

any suggestions?

I'm partial to Mandriva. It's an easy switch from windows to it IMO.

never tried mandriva. have you ever given ubuntu a shot? it's a pretty easy switch too. another cool thing, you can have them send you discs for "pc edition" 64bit, Live and mac.
