Linux-mandrake is a good choice if you're just converting from windows as it provides a good GUI installer and alot of GUI apps to administer the OS.
the *BSDs are known for being very stable, even more so than linux, however they tend to be harder to administer for newbies as they don't have the fancy GUI apps.

o Intel i82540EM 1000BASE-T Ethernet
o Intel i82540EM (LOM) 1000BASE-T Ethernet
o Intel i82540EP 1000BASE-T Ethernet
o Intel i82541EI 1000BASE-T Ethernet
o Intel i82541EI (Mobile) 1000BASE-T Ethernet
o Intel i82541ER 1000BASE-T Ethernet
o Intel i82541GI 1000BASE-T Ethernet
o Intel i82541PI 1000BASE-T Ethernet
o Intel i82545EM 1000BASE-T Ethernet

In addition to Intel's own ``PRO/1000'' line of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, these chips also appear on some server systems, processor evalu-
ation boards, and in embedded systems.
The i8254x supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming and TCP segmentation in hardware. The wm driver supports these features of the chip. See
ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature.
