So I recently tried to install to install Ubuntu (liked it, but it just kept messing up my desktop and the drivers wouldn't work properly) So i tried Gentoo which I liked but it was waaay to complicated to install and kept just erroring out on me. What I want is a good balance between performance, hardware support and general support (packages and such). As long as its pritty well supported and easy to install, I'll like it.
 
My graphics card just didn't work on it, everything else works fine but i'm at wide screen with a terrible resolution :mad: Its an X1600PRO and the fglrx or whatever you spell it like drivers just don't like my system much. I'm downloading SUSE atm and will try it out soon.
 
Ok change of plan, my internet reset so I had to restart the download of SUSE, so forget that. I'm going to take another stab at Ubuntu. I'm not going to go at this half-hearteningly so I'm going to try a stage1 install. As the officials don't support stage1 anymore I was wondering if anyone knew of a good guide to installing the 2006.1 release using stage1, when I do it I usually end up spending 30 minutes selecting the packages I want then 30 minutes installer to find an error in something i don't understand.

Any help wanted.
