best distro on Inspiron 500m

I know there are a lot of web sites with some experiment on it, but i'd like to know what distro fits better on the Inspiron 500m, because i know there are a bunch of troubles with the graphic card and the built-in wireless card.
thanks a lot

    Have you tried any of the "Live CDs"? They will help determine how Linux handles your hardware.

    Each distro usually has a Live version. Personally, I like SuSE Linux and it's Live CD can be downloaded here. Supposedly, 9.1 has better wireless support. Since I don't own any wireless hardware I cannot comment on this.

    I also had success with Knoppix.

    More tips here.

    Dexter23182, you might want to look at www.linux-laptop.net and see if someone got the configurations for the graphics card and wireless right... :smileywink:
