I
recommend using a different distributor. That person does
not have your convenience as a customer as his priority.
Only one of those will work with Orca without hastles. Even
then, you will most likely run into trouble down the road if
you go and buy something you want to connect to it like a
scanner, a printer, Bluetooth keyboard or something like
that because it will probably have bad hardware support. If
you are new to Linux, you are probably unfamiliar with the
process of hunting down a driver and enabling it in your
kernel. It’s a royal pain. If you want a pre-installed
distro, go with the fellow that sells Ubuntu. It’s
accessible, user-friendly and does not limit you as much in
what kind of hardware you can install. If you want to go
the Free/Libre route, wait till you have some more
familiarity with Linux down in the guts of the thing and
then switch your distribution at that time. Otherwise, you
may encounter some frustration down the road. When you are
learning something, you want it to work reliably so you
don’t spend half your time wondering if you should be fixing
something and the other half split between doing it and
learning how to use it.

Dear List, thanks for the replies to my
previous question they were helpful. I have found another
supplier of linux laptops, he will only install the following
distros. Are any of these any good with orca?
