One thing i often stumble upon though is that some of these easy-to-use-distribution-xy are not even able to boot from LiveCD without turning acpi and apic and pci-acpi manually off! This is really a showstopper, as other distros boot just fine. I also dont like this 6-month-thing anymore. It really is boring to some aspect too. But mainly... an example: my brother wanted to really try and use Linux and did so. I helped him installing and configuring some things. But he often asked 'how to get this new version of wine, or libgpod, .. ' you know. Telling him 'you can, just compile yourself and make a package' is just... not right. After 2 weeks he gave up and installed Windows again.

I use Kubuntu (not Ubuntu ... I voted other)

I have tried RH ... Mandrake/Mandriva ... Linspire .... SuSE and many other distros that no longer exist (used Lycoris for a couple of years)...

I prefer KDE simply because it makes Linux more intuitive to an Old Windows user (I started on PC's on a Coleco Adam ... does that give you an idea of how old )

I was an RPM biggit till I tried Kubuntu and now I prefer not to switch back

I have been using Linux for over 10 years and have seen a lot of growth but I think I am done switching to the Linux flavor of the day.
