For someone beginning Linux from 15+ years of windows, what would be the best version of Linux to learn? Ubuntu/ Fedora/ Mandriva aren’t options due to driver conflicts with my installed Graphics card.
Though the live cds run from windows and look great, i cant get to the graphics end on boot up. the screen glows bluish black and theres nothing…
Any recommendations?

You cant run LiveCD because it cant run correctly, errors? If yes, this video is your YOU! 
GRUB
I need a Linux Live CD that will boot into a GUI supporting at least 1024×768 resolution on an nVidia graphics card, and auto-recognizes nForce4 6150 gigabit ethernet NIC. So far, all of the ones that I try fail one or the other. I’ve tried pendrivelinux, ubuntu, and slax. No love.
I don’t need 3D support, just higher resolution than 800×600 that the other distro’s boot into.
Unfortunately, the control panel applet doesn’t allow higher resolution than 800×600, probably because it always boots with the VESA driver. Why won’t it use the built in nv driver?
