Don't have any links off the top of my head - though there's been
quite a few reviews and blogs about where they've said hardware
detection in Ubuntu didn't work for their PC and one of those other
distros has installed flawlessly out of the box. (oh wait - found one
mentioning linuxmint

)

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying Ubuntu is bad, nor that you should
use gentoo. Just trying to provide some options which have the ease of
use of Ubuntu and may work with XSI. I'd try Vector first out of that
list, then PCLinuxOS then Linuxmint (as linuxmint is ubuntu based so
it's got the highest likelihood of hitting the same issues you have
now).

As far as the lightweight aspect Vectorlinux
( http://www.vectorlinux.com) claims to be the fastest non-source
distro available and from the reviews around I'd certainly consider it
possible.

Cheers,

Alan.
