I personally like LInux Mint

http://linuxmint.com/cassandra.html

What makes Cassandra ideal for the desktop

* Out of the box multimedia support
* Microsoft Windows Integration (Dual-boot, NTFS read/write support, Migration Assistant)
* One-Click install system (Linux Mint Software Portal, mintInstall)
* Desktop features, Control Center, mintMenu
* 3D Effects (Compiz and Beryl on top of AIGLX)
* Great configuration tools
* Great selection of default applications (OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Sunbird, Gimp, Pidgin, XChat, Amarok..etc)
* Solid package base (Google Earth, Picasa, Skype.. a lot of important software present in the repositories or in the Linux Mint Software Portal, compatibility with all Ubuntu Feisty repositories and most Debian packages)
* Solid code base (Debian distribution built on top of Ubuntu Edgy.)

SuSE although it's causing me a few problems at work with the DHCP Daemons.

Otherwise it's a really nice distro.

I've played with Mint and xxubuntu's and always had problems with the wireless networking.

SuSE is the only one which has worked out of the box so to speak. I just wish I could figure out the DHCP problem.

i've always been a debian guy although i have dabbled with slackware for a year way back in 1999. i know there are other package managers but i'm very partial to apt.

i will be giving Ubuntu a try on my current desktop though.
