i read an article saying ubuntu is the choice now, believe it has wifi drivers (seeing as a linux driver, is a linux driver, is a linux driver kind of thing!)

The latest version of YDL also has Wifi drivers, reason i choose the yellow dog one is that the boot loader is on disk( easier install) , and all the extras on the DVD such as open office, firefox, etc. Both equally good so i have read but not had much chance to play around with it. I think the UBUNTU is a lot smaller download, YDL is 3.3 Gb!

Ubunti is only about 700mb, Iv got it and it seems good and was easy to install, just wish I could get it full screen at 1080p... I just get black border round the screen.

Does it include open office, firefox etc?

Yes it has firefox and open office for sure, not sure what it doesnt have compared to YDL as I have never used that. But it does have everything I need, VLC player is in the add/remove programs section, so it does have to be installed but its simple.
