Here is another vote for PCLinuxOS 2007. This is by far the best Linux distro I've used. That is going back about 5 years or so. I've used Debian testing, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Mandriva and countless other distros throughout the years and this one is by far the most ready to use right after install (java, flash, all media plugins etc... are installed by default). It uses apt/synaptic for its package manager with just about every package you could want included by default. It has a nice professional look and feel to it. The control center is great, you can enable Beryl right from it by just check marking a box. My nvidia driver was also correctly installed by just check marking the appropriate package in synaptic.
