I've just bought this laptop with no OS installed. As I tried to
install Debian(netinst,testing - the same CD, I used to install
Debian on my desktop PC circa one year ago), it has failed to
detect network hardware, and therefore failed to complete
installation .  Can anyone suggest best distribution to run this
notebook? What's best for it? Gentoo? Debian? (please note, that
it has AMD Turion64x2 processor).  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
