Today the 60GB hard drive for my laptop arrived at work. I've been wanting to dual boot with Linux on it for some time but the 15GB drive wasn't enough to give either Windows or Linux enough space and still be able to hold my work files. So I was faced with a choice of going cold turkey to Linux which I didn't want to do since I need to actually get work done on it. With the extra space I can make the change gradually like I did at home giving me time to work out any oddness that may crop up. I'm thinking it will go much more smoothly this time since I've already been using Linux for a couple of years but I'm a little nervous since I've never setup any Linux distro on a laptop.

This brings up one big question though. What distro to try first?
