Can anyone help me find a good distro ?

Calum:
it'll be the kernel and how it's configured.

when i say configured, i mean which modules are loaded by default. different distros choose different modules to load by default in their system's kernel, and some have clever autodetection things that load modules or don't, based on what they think you have attached. Slack isn't too hot on autodetecting things, but it is excellent for recompiling a kernel with only the hardware support you need. This is something i have never had to do in FC however if i did have to do it, because of some shitty hardware, i suspect it would be a lot harder than in slack, based on true testimonials from the faithful.

worker, i thought we were talking about shitty hardware like USB printers, proprietary graphics cards and winmodems, but maybe i am behind the times a bit (haven't seen a proper winmodem bitch on this board for years now actually!)
