I know there must be at least a few here using linux at least on a secondary machine here if not on a primary use computer.

I'm thinking of cutting some space out of one of my drives and installing linux on a dual boot setup. I was hoping maybe I could get some recommendations from some of you.

My most basic and important needs are that I can get a GUI like KDE running fairly easily, and have internet sharing set up so I can reboot and other computers on my network will get back on the net ASAP, whether I'm going to windows or linux.

I've been looking at Mandrivia (Mandrake), Debian, Slackware, and Knoppix. I already have a slightly old copy of Knoppix on a CD I've played with.

I can run linux...just never really done a full install from scratch for something that would be used as a home/work setup and not a web server. Any recomendations?
