Mandrake appears to have developed an annoying little quirk where KDE applications (including Konsole) will not launch upon initial login. Logging out and logging in again is a workaround for this, but is extremely annoying.
On the other hand, Knoppix is running perfectly right now. The display is now working properly in 1400x1050 (thanks to some so-called "Cheat Codes") and wireless works. Now I'm thinking of trying Debian, which is the distro that Knoppix is based off of.
EDIT:
I tried Knoppix's "experimental" Linux 2.6 kernel and it won't pickup my Lexar Jumpdrive! It's a shame because that's where I store my persistent /home directory and settings. I have two options: keep using the stable 2.4 kernel (and lose my advanced power-saving controls), or use 2.6 and move my /home onto one of my hard drive partitions. I think I will stick with 2.4 for now since I don't know if 2.6 has additional issues.
