Knoppix is quite good for autodetect hardware and see what works.  But
it's not really a full-service desktop.

Ubuntu is a good install and ok "live" (if you like Gnome; or Kubuntu
or Xubuntu if you like KDE or light WM's) with good laptop support;
that's what I'm using for new installs now.

There is an Ubuntu InstallFest in Cambridge MA this Saturday if you
want "spotters" for a full install.

PCLinuxOS has gotten good buzz lately.
