I'm going to keep this short, because I want to go into the details in Part 4.
Ubuntu Hardy Heron proved impossible. No wireless and no graphics card driver was just enough of a problem to make it really annoying. A complete clean install didn't fix it so I decided to try some other distributions - www.dreamlinux.com.br : as slick as using a Mac, same wireless + graphics problems, www.pclinuxos.com :Even more problems. Then I tried openSUSE 10.3 www.opensuse.org Amazing stuff - everything worked first time. Wireless was working from installation onwards, NVidia make drivers for openSUSE specifically for my graphic card.
In the next part I'll run through my first week's experences, but so far? Wonderful!
