Actually, that could well work for you.  Quite often one distro will
work perfectly with all the hardware while another is useless.  That
useless one could be a godsend to another user..

Whereabouts are you Stuart?  I've got loads of different distro's
here, nearly all up to date.  SuSE 10, latest
Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Slackware/Fedora 5 even the latest Gentoo.  I can
easily let you either borrow them or do you a copy.
