Might I suggest taking a look at Linux Mint, which is a very solid 
distribution, other than being based on the Debian tree, and even more 
like Ubuntu. It uses the Ubuntu repositories, but doesn't maintain the 
'only free; only open-source' policy of Ubuntu.

I also like very much PCLinuxOS, which is a redhat derivative, except 
v2008 isn't out yet, so it's not as compatible with newer hardware as Mint 
is. That will change once PCLOS2008 is released (no idea or news when).

  the people who are evil, but because of the people who
  don't do anything about it.
