My SuSE Linux 8.0 Came today
iancom:
I'm just downloading RedHat 7.3 beta, "Skipjack," which should have much more hardware support and suchlike than 7.2. It only has KDE 3 RC1 by default at the moment, I believe, but by the time it's released it should have all the final versions on (and in fact it should be trivial for me to update it to KDE3 final anyway).
I shall report my findings soon...!
gnomez:
Yes, Red Hat 7.3 (when it comes out) should be quite good also, especially for those who want free iso images. (SuSE Linux is free but not in iso form; you have to download from their ftp site and it doesn't include some commercial software) Red hat has always been the most compatible Linux distribution since it is the most popular.
hoojchoons:
Well, Calum I don't know about your modem, but the SiS630 is supported under XFree86 3.3.6 by the XF86_SVGA server with the sis driver (accelerated support that is). Under XFree86 4.2.0 things are still a bit tricky since the driver's code is new and has a few problems. You can find both XFree86 versions under every new distro (same goes for SuSE Linux 8.0).
Calum:
top cool, now i just have to find somebody with a cable connection who can be arsed to do me a copy!! :D

I found a program called KMerlin that is an MSN Messenger client, and it is very good. It has all the standard features except there are no file transfers but that isnt so bad.
