    Try out a Debian based distro, like Debian or (K)Ubuntu. I can's speak much for Fedora (Red Hat based) or FreeBSD, since I have very little experience with them.

    Oh yes, DesktopBSD 1.6-RC1 is based on FreeBSD 6.2 with a ready KDE desktop, and has the driver builtin so no need for ndis..etc.
