Re: linux help

kubuntu is the closest to windows GUI
and as far as i know linux flavours install your drivers automaticly but i dunno about wireless drives but they will be somewhere on the internet

Re: linux help

ubuntu or kubuntu provide good windowing environments. My preference is ubuntu. As far as wireless drivers you'll probably have to install and see if it works.
