I was not very impressed, and the desktop is KDE, so I looked around at other ones and found pclinux gnome version. This has ndiswrapper in the kernel and although I had a lot of bother with an old pc, eventually I installed it and it runs fine. I particularly wanted a wireless connection as the room where I use it is far away from the router and a hard wired connection would be difficult to achieve.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I generally use
ubuntu and it does most that I want, in my opinion ubuntu is easy to install and use. However it is good to keep an open mind and try other distros just for the experience!</div><div style="position:fixed"></div></div><br>
