I'm a windows user by nature, I've been playing around with Linux for a little while, I'm no Expert in any way but I've used quite a few distro's. The first distro I ever stuck with for any amount of time Was Xandros 1.0, which a friend provided for me. Except for the fact that it ran an old version of KDE it was perfect for me, but the old KDE crippled my work. Enter Xandros 2.0.

For hardware support, I'd give xandros a pretty high mark for laptops. Unlike nearly every other distro Xandros has resolved all hardware issues and quite frankly beats XP hands down. A PCMCIA card *Chronos*(NEC USB2.0) would not work at all on any other distro even with max tweaking, but xandros found everything fine, a rollerball usb mouse at the same time as a ps/2 touchpad. I also can't stand KDE (Gnome's my choice) but xandros has made KDE fairly fast. I'm chuffed.
