[ale] College Linux tips, advice, cool stuff?

[Jay]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has tried College Linux, and if so, if 
they have any tips or advice for me.  I was given a PIII to play with so 
I put on FreeBSD, which didnt want to work with my mouse or X in 
general, so I decided to hold off on FreeBSD and went with College Linux 
instead.  It seems pretty decent from the few minutes I've spent on the 
box so far. 

Anything that's helpful to know about College Linux right off the bat?  
Any cool things about it? Useful features?   Fun stuff? 

I'm fairly new to linux but I learn quick and I wanted to try some new 
distros besides Mandrake and Red Hat.  Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and 
Xandros are also on my list to look at at some point.  Any thoughts or 
input is appreciated!
