Alright, since I have some time on my hands I figured I'd start preparing for school next year and put Linux on my laptop. Until now it wasn't really realistic for me to use it for school but now that I can use StarOffice and the Gimp and *hopefully* get my Wi-Fi to work.
I need a distro that will boot FAST, but I don't want to go as extreme as Gentoo again. But I don't want a crippled distribution either. I had been using Knoppix on the laptop which was nice because after a little fiddling most things worked (except my wireless card, it only worked when I booted from the CD), but it was too slow to use at school.
So, any suggestions?

That painting was a gift, Todd. I'm taking it with me.
