Which Distro

[inuakamori]

Hey guys,

I'm sure this is a repeat thread but I had to ask for some help, so sorry ^_^;

I ask you to read the whole description below before replying to my question because I give a couple of extra specifics I'm looking for in a distro. : )

I am looking for in a distro is:
First and foremost,
1) easy wireless set-up
I am moving back and forth from school to several homes relying on wireless
2) compatibility with bluetooth, built-in webcam and mic.
3) a lighter- distro in order to sustain lengthy battery power

The rest of the items I'm looking for are not essential however would be nice to have:

4) video/ music editing apps
5) compatibility with Ipod

My laptop's specs are:

LG-R405
4gb DDR ram
320 gb hd
intel core 2 duo
ATI radeon xpress 1250


If you need more info just message and I'll answer ^_^

any help would be most appreciated.

Welcome to the forums!

Take a look at the link in my signature for lots of good information on getting started with Linux. You'll find a couple of quizzes there that might help you to pick your first distribution. One quick way to test your hardware is to run any of the distributions that come on a liveCD. If you find one that works well with your hardware setup, you can proceed to install it directly to the hard drive if you wish.

Hope it all goes well and Linux turns out to be lots of fun for you.
