>I've had issues with 2 versions so far - using Fedora Core 4, I wasn't able

>installation.  Knoppix works and runs fine except one problem, the laptop 
>touchpad mouse only seems to work for 3/4 of the screen area. Not sure if I 
>can fix this or not....

>Anyways... I want an OS that is pretty handy to install, will auto detect 
>most of my settings (graphics card, mouse, USB, etc), MS Word compatible & 
>good MP3 player (probably ubiquitous, not sure), and if it had a web server 
>built in (e.g. apache) that would be the cherry on the cake.

>Any advice would be gratefully received! Thanks a bunch
