well, I actually had the same problem at first. So on the second try before I installed it, when I booted from the live CD, I turned off acpi at the boot prompt and then it was flawless.  I run it on my laptop actually, and it's the first distro I've found that's correctly identified every single peice of hardware on the thing.

resizing an NTFS partition doesn't have to be brain surgery.  You can..errrr...obtain a copy of partition magic 8.0 and that is really easy use right out of windows before you even think about Linux.

No need to buy a seperate utility. mandrake can non destructively resize NTFS partitions. Believe me, because I did it.

did I say buy?  ;)

Well X11, the person is looking for a newbie distro and slackware is known for not being for noobs. I'd  say Mandrake or Suse.
