I used to run SuSE 10, but then I tried the Beta for Ubuntu 6.06 and SuSE was quickly GONE.

My laptop triple boots Ubuntu 6.06, Vista 5365, and XP Pro. But my desktop is exclusively Server 2003.

There'* probably a fix out there somewhere for that. I've had to do some funky things to get video cards to work... you can usually specify options upon install before X launches. And you can usually switch to a terminal window and edit config files after installation too.
