I'm up to about 30 or so distros that I've played with. I'm waiting for the new KDE version of Ultimate Edition from Theeman. It'll be for the more moderate to advanced user, but will be packed with awesome features.

Ultimate Edition distros are forked from Ubuntu and Mint. That being said I don't see how a new Desktop Environment (KDE) would change the skill-level "required" of the user. Both of the distros it's forked from were both forked from Debian...that being said they're usually very easy to work with.

I tried some distros, each for several years, running fedora now since 2 years. The main difference is that the red hat people are real experts. If there is a problem, they can help.Smilie

My favorite is Debian GNU/Linux although I started with Ubuntu. As Douglas Adams once wrote, "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I've ended up where I needed to be."
