I want to watch TV on my pc and I want to use my integrated mic and my web cam. I need linux for a basic needs and I didn't found my best distro sooo..... I'm still using ubuntu but I can't use my microphone, because Ubuntu is not supporting my sound card at all.

Lindows still exists, it's called Linspire!

My views:

* If you never want to upgrade (only update) use ArchLinux

* If you're experienced with computers in general and can handle DOS then Slackware and a lot of RTFMing is good

* If you need to talk with others who have already done things without fear of being called a n00b, Ubuntu is the way to go

* Want a system that's a little Mac OS X like, Ubuntu is also the way to go

* For a stable and long-term supported (7 years) system try CentOS
