I also recommend SuSE, and will be at the installfest all day. I've got
copies of 7.2, 8.1, and 8.2 (all professional versions).

As I always do to these types of requests, I'll suggest SuSE. I too
started 
with Slackware, used Caldera for a while, tried debian, and have used
SuSE 
for almost 4 years, (looks at shelf with old CDs) since 6.2. A recently
had 
to rebuild my system after a hard drive failure. This system has been a
dual 
boot so I left space (a FAT32 partition) for a Win 98 SE install but
haven't 
done that yet. The SuSE 8.2 setup detected the FAT32 partition, assumed
a 
Windows install and added a boot option to Grub. 

In the time I've used SuSE I've installed it on a bunch of systems with
almost 
no issues. This includes several laptops. Recently I purchase a TV 
Tuner/Capture card and the system detected the card and it setup very
easily. 

As usual I'll be at the installfest for a while on Saturday if you
decide to 
go SuSE. ;-)
