-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Tony, In my personal experience anything in the Intel family works well. I've only really used the mini-PCI models found on laptops, but I believe the same chipset is available in PCI and possibly also in USB models. I've also used the Broadcom 43XX models successfully, again on a laptop. As for distribution, well, I personally am an avid Gentoo user and I generally don't recommend anything else. I know there are lots of people who disagree with me on that front, and that's cool. It's just a personal preference of mine. I find it serves all of my purposes, from a Linux for beginners to an advanced Linux setup on a multi-user system. I don't wanna spark a distro debate here, so I'll finish by saying that the other distributions have their uses too. - -- Those of you who think they know everything are very annoying to those of us who actually do.
