What distro do you recommend

I tried some of them, but none of them have my wireless driver. Anyone knows 1 that works? Thanks, specs in signature. Elvir

Ok, got iPC 10.5.6 running:)

except for the fact my resolution cant go higher then 1024*768 instead of my normal reso.
and my artheros wifi card isnt available on the driver list, can i download them somewhere on a other pc and transfer with a usb stick or something, or is something else required?

Thanks allot, Elvir:-*

Field Note #2 @sparksthesquid 2009-10-06

as for the wireless....

the linksys WUSB600N USB adapter works great for the wireless I have had no trouble on any distro I tried currently running iatkos v7 leo 10.5.8 I was able to get the wireless with kismac-hack. As for the linksys USB let me know I can send you the drivers for it. don't know on the graphics I've done many installs on many machines with success but not an ATI
