I second what Vince has said above. 

Knoppix 3.3 is a very nice way to go, very smooth
install and your up and running in no time flat.  

Use apt-get for package manager is very nice to with
KDE for the desktop manager.  

My only complaint is that it installs so many packages
that I don't use, so I've spent some quality time
removing them.

Great Knoppix support forum can be found here

Or try Slackware, another Linux distro that I'm really
getting attached to...here are some excellent
step-by-step directions for an install...
