There are several proxy servers that will block ads for any browser, so you might want to shut down the site and start thinking of other mediums.
I personally would never buy anything ever from anyone who discriminates against my choice of browser!
I recommend Kubuntu - Ubuntu with kde. Kde is more intuitive I think for Windows users.
You won't ever go back to windows - run win32 apps in wine, or windows under virtual box or vmware maybe.
I also recommend PCLinux2007. Personally I like kubuntu much better, but if you do just want an OS up and running in 10 minutes with
Beryl and most everything you need PCLinux2007 is a good choice.
I have also had great success with ubuntu and wifi. The latest kubuntu feisty had no problems with the intel wireless card in my t60, and I like the new wireless manager much more than windows. It also has built in support for WPA now.
On my HP laptop which uses a broadcom card I have to load ndiswrapper. I just typed in ubuntu dapper(I was running dapper then) broadcom ndiswrapper in google, and the first link was a how to page in ubuntu forums. I followed the instructions and it worked no problem. Ndiswrapper allows you to use windows wireless drivers in linux and works for most wireless cards.
