I recommend Debian. KDE has their own debian packages that you can add to your sources.list. Check out <http://www.kde.org/download/>. Personally I recommend woody (stable), a lot of packages are a bit old, but I tried the testing version and I couldn't get the danged new installer to work properly. It really upset me, it's like they decided to take a huge step back.
I want to maybe when the next installfest I'll bring my machine in and see what can be done. I have gotten all the way to getting the x-windows setup with no hardware acceleration. but I have gotten totally frustrated trying to get my soundcard working (soundblaster live) and at the time I had a odd video card, a off brand nvidia, but now with the video card that I have ( a radeon 7000 ) hopefully Debian doesn't think that it is a strange card. and before I was trying totally on my own with no one to ask questions.
There's a program called discover that runs on boot, if it's installed, that should help here. It's like RedHat's kudzu. It detects your hardware and tries to set it up for you.
