Been busy choosing an alternative to Windows XXXX. It has been quite a battle to settle on one Distro. Check here often and I will keep you posted on the news.
First of all the objective was to get completely out of windows for various reasons. This has been accomplished. To make the task more interesting this all had to function on a laptop. Mine is an ACER 4520 Nvidia GeForce 7000m with 2 gig of RAM and a Broadcom 4313 WiFi radio. To make things even more difficult I wanted to be able to do the install via the WiFi.
After having tried about 40 distros inside of the Sun Virtual box and not being satisfied I found DreamLinux. Guess what I noticed that it found all the hardware!
I went for broke and allowed it to do a complete wipe of the primary drive! With fingers crossed of course. A reboot later success, it was up and running! True enough I had to manually tell it to turn on the WiFi radio and tell it which AP I wanted to use. It even saw my external NTFS drive!
Here is a screen shot
