Don't forget the debian-based Knoppix.  It is very good about
discovering hardware and has an option to install to your disk.
Thereafter just use standard debian apt tools to keep your system
updated.   

I've been handing out Knoppix to my Linux-curious co-workers who
aren't quite ready to take the leap of repartitioning their Windows
systems...
