I tried Mandriva and was unable to get it running. Will try it again as it should get my Haupauge PVR 350 running by default.

Mandriva is based on Red Hat / Fedora Core Ubuntu is based on Debian with Gnome as s Desktop Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE as a Desktop SuSE is... based on SuSE :) I've frequently experienced that not every distro works well on every computer (especialy notebooks). I remember a Toshiba that would never run well with SuSE but performed perfectly with Mandrake. If you like the Debian scheme, you might give a look at Mepis, that provides a CD that works as live CD as well as installation CD. I testdrives SuSE 10.0 and found it good, but I stick to Mepis for the time being (amongst other things because I could not get some multimedia stuff to run on SuSE while apt-get with the appropriate repositories get them running on Mepis.
