Re:I would suggest suse 9.2 for ease of installation. It picked up all my devices on my Thinkpad T40 (even wireless) with no problems.

Re:My current Linux laptop has Suse 9.1 on it. It was a fairly painless experience installing, securing and using it. I took it and used it on the WiFi at Blackhat and Defcon in Vegas this past summer and never got 0wn3d, which is saying something.
That laptop is antiquated garbage, however. I haven't yet installed Linux on my new company laptop but when I get around to it it will either get Suse again or Ubuntu.

We've tested SUSE 9.2 specifically on our Dell D600s and it works EXTREMELY well on it. I'd highly recommend it.
