if your brave, download and install Slackware... if your not so brave, try out mandrake
can slackware read ntfs partatoins. i know mandrake can and thats one of the reasons i went with it, so i can dual boot win2k/mandrake 9.2, and be able to get my files on the ntfs partation through mandrake and be able to run some windows programs through wine without reinstalling.
You can download the latest kernel from www.kernel.com or www.kernel.org and recompile your kernel and add support for all sorts of crap that the standard distro kernel you use doesn't support.
Gnome, it's a lot easier on resources than KDE. Although I am a fan of the command line...too bad Arachne for linux is currently so sucky, otherwise I could do entirely without X.

KDE has the firmillar[sp] Windows look.

PS. But I'd like to...
i'm gonna try kde 3.2 on mandrake 9.2 when i get my good pc back up. mandrake dont work good on an 166mhz/64mb ram!
i dont think theres much difference between 3.1 and 3.2 though, ether way kde kicks ass!
yeah, the nice thing about linux (KDE or GNOME) is that u can make it look almost exactly how u want it!

oh, ok, mandrake can write to ntfs partations.
Now if only they made KDE for XP.

Anyway, I'm not a linux person. So I don't have a favorite.
