I think PCLinuxOS is worth a shot. Installed on a couple of computers (AMD desktop and Dell laptop) and everything that I've used "just worked" including video playback and desktop resolution - even some 3D games! For the rest, there is WINE or Cedega...
As far as editing graphics settings, it's all done through the PCC (PCLinuxOS Control Center). nVidia driver? Download & install through synaptic (package manager). It's been the top listing on distrowatch now for the last 3 months.
It's only been a couple of months, but I have only gone to the terminal because I wanted to, not because of some configuration issue.
For Linux, right now probably Ubuntu or one of the other 3 or 4 most popular distributions. There are Live CDs and even online guides to help a new user choose.
PCLinuxOS has got to be the easiest-to-install distro I have ever used. Detected & set up my internal wireless card both while running the LiveCD or when it's installed to the hard drive. For someone looking to try it out, it's worth a shot. I likes it, and that's what matters to me.

I like this one. Even though the 'evidence' shown by doubters (it's now fasionable to doubt the moon landing) has been falsified, it's still a rampant rumor.
Too bad those people who still think it happened will be labeled 'sheep' by the doubters.
I, for one, think it truly happened (I was born 3 months before the last landing). It would take too much effort and cash to simply fake it realistically enough...

It could always be used as a new spelling for the word 'food' ;)

Thanks - I nearly gave my keyboard a coffee shower; truly made me LOL. Good show!
Try PCLinuxOS . I've been using it for a little while now (3 weeks) and have only used a command prompt to ping IP addresses.

I believe it's an "automated teller" machine, not an automated "teller machine"...

It's a heluvan excuse to buy upgraded RAM...
I believe you meant Veruca...

I just went there. If you wait more than a few seconds, the image cycles between 4 images - one of them is the Ubuntu ad.
Shouldn't this be TPS report writer?
Somehow I can't see Lord Vader saying "Have a nice day".
One could interpret that statement as the one who 'uses' the patented invention is doing so to create their product for sale.

Now THAT was funny! :D

Didn't Dr. Luther's (Gene Simmons) gun from the 1984 movie Runaway have just a gun? Heat-seeking, propelled ordinance! I want! lol
You are Chineese Off-shorers are loosing their credibility! What you say?
I didn't know it needed to be tightened anyway
If you except the checks, then I'll most certainly accept them :D
