FOr binary distro's i highly recommend suse. Yast2 is simply quite impressive. While all packages may not be up to date on a default install, and you gotta update xine to play certain videos and stuff because of "legal" issues, its quite easy because all you gotta do is find an RPM from one of those RPM sites. It actually works, stability is nice, configuration is sweet thanks to Yast, the install was beautifull (minus partitioning, because i didn't want what they wanted, but that was an easy fix for me, cuz i do it all the time, but others don't). I did a net install. It worked very nicely and was very fast. If you don't have broadband pay the money to get the boxed set.

I've also played around with bsd's and still my fav for source stuff is gentoo. Simply because it's bleeding edge, and really easy. Ports blows compared to portage. Apt-get is nice because its binary but its missing the USE flags. I wish all distros' had the USE option but with binaries its kinda hard.
