Joe,
Have you ever tried Debian?  Getting a stable OS that
supports all of your hardware is the first step.  Lets
start there.

I assume you have a PC with a blank hard drive or at
least an empty partition we can use, right?

I recommend starting with the Debian Stable netinst CD
and working from there.

You may want to print out the instructions on AMICUS.

OK?

Thanks!
