[NTLUG:Discuss] Install Linux Dell D610 External Drive

[John Swink]

I would like to install a good usable version of Linux on a USB hard
drive for my company Dell D610 laptop, so I can safely sort and organize
files on my NTFS file system and also have a computer that I can use to
do presentations in Open Office without all the Windows XP bugs,
interruptions, etc.  Can any of you recommend a distro that:
    1.   Installs cleanly?
    2.   Graphics display properly?
    3.   Reads NTFS file system?
I will be at the November NTLUG meeting at 0900 and would like some
assistance in installing.  Any advice in the meantime would be much
appreciated.
