Preferred Linux Flavor?
My laptop died. If I can get it running again, I'm considering loading Linux on it. A friend suggested Ubuntu, any other Linux flavors that come recommended?

I'm downloading Ubuntu Studio 9.04 right now, its packaged with Blender, Gimp...
I've read positive things about OpenSuse, and Debian.
Mostly I just want it to install and work. I've read of many linux install failures, or wi-fi not working, sound not working...ugh.
I'll (hopefully) be installing it on a hp zv5240us laptop. Hopefully that is old enough that there is no hardware too fancy for a Linux distro to recognize.
