I recently got my employer to donate a laptop to my church. However, our policy is to wipe the hard drives of all computers and laptop before they leave the firm.

So, I need an operating system (Linux of course comes to mind first).

However, at church we want to use this as our multi-media laptop hooked up to a projector during worship. So it needs good sound and video.

I'm partial to Fedora Core (and version 5 was released a few days ago), but it can be limiting when it comes to mainstream multimedia.

Do you have any suggestions for a more user-friendly multimedia distro that works well on a laptop?

Kubuntu comes to mind. http://kubuntu.org and since it is Debian based Adept (GUI Package Manager) keeps the distro up-to-date very easily =).

I'd try Ubuntu with THIS http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/

Just read a review of it the other day -- the reviewer was quite impressed ...
