That's rather vague.  There have been a lot of improvements both in
terms of hardware support and ease of installation in various distros,
I'd suggest grabbing a new distro and trying again and reporting some
details.  I'd suggest the new Mandrake 7.2 (ISO version, not the retail
one), it's very sexy and I have it running great on 3 machines now
without any issues.  RedHat 7.0 is okay, too, from a newbie standpoint.
