Suse 10.3.
Supports everything I've thrown at it, but it does have some sound issues with my chipset. Other than that, everything works!

Ubuntu. I have recently moved to Ubuntu from vista, i have installed Ubuntu inside vista, and i must say its a lot better, it loads faster, easier to use. I'm happy that my WIFI worked as soon as i plugged in the adapter, although i wish it had a little more support for apps as i tried to run PS through Wine and it wont open PSD files :(, also i tried to run iTunes, but it said it needed quicktime :/ but yea, its really good

Linux isn't supposed to run Photoshop or iTunes. WINE is the last thing you should look to if you need to do a task.

Personally Knoppix is my favorite, but Ubuntu comes in second easily
I triple boot:
-Mac OS X Leopard (245GB)
-Windows XP (40GB)
-Ubuntu (10GB)
Computer Specs:
iMac
Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
2 GB RAM
320 GB HDD
256 MB VRAM

For your Ubuntu on your iMac, did you have any screen glitches? And did you do Wubi Inside Windows? And is it Hardy Heron? Wifi Work?

Slow down there!
No screen glitches, custom display driver. Wubi inside Windows??? Distro 7.1 I believe (Gutsy Gibbon I think) I haven't tried and don't intend to. I am directly connected (20M Download 2M Upload!!)

Gentoo.
I run 2 servers, both of which have a Stage1 custom installation.
That's what I love about Gentoo, totally in control.

What Adapter do you have?
I've got a HP Pavilion dv2000, and I have one of the infamous Broadcom 43xx adapters...I saw a couple of solutions on the Ubuntu forums but I'm a beginner in Linux so I though I'd just stick with Windows.

So many people with Ubuntu have problems with Broadcom.. So strange..

Find Windows drivers for your card - they should come on a cd with the adapter. If they didn't, look on the manufacturer's site and download them. Then get ndiswrapper either manually or through synaptic. Then you simply choose your windows drivers in ndiswrapper, and boom - it works. If you need more help just post or pm.

Ok i got the driver, but one question where should I put the .exe file...I'm running the LiveCD if that matters.
Also I just read the documentation on the NDISwrapper website and...it sounded a bit more complicated than how you described it :S
UPDATE: I got it working!!! Too bad it doesn't support even 128 bit passphrases but oh well..
