Why such fringe distributions? Except for SuSE, most of those are fairly
non-standard releases. What about DebIan or RedHat/Mandrake? You're far
more likely to find new hardware support in RedHat/Mandrake, or SuSE.

Twenty cents for a CD-R, download three ISO's and it'll cost you sixty.
CheapBytes will probably sell you a set for about $15.
HP has just begun offering Mandrake on some of their systems, why not check
with them?
