Ubuntu - Have tried this in the past and found is pretty good but there

package management is pretty good (apt-get) and sources appear to be
pretty up to date. I think in all honesty it was just the default 'look'
that put me off, brown is not the most interesting nor restful colour to
look at on a computer screen.
I sympathise with your views on the default colour scheme for Ubuntu! It
is however relatively straightforward to eliminate the Ubuntu look
(almost) completely:
1. Select different themes for the window borders, applications, and
login manager
2. Choose a different splash-screen (gets rid of the lovies)
3. Choose your own background image.
Voila - (almost) no sign of the Ubuntu look remaining. The only thing I
haven't cracked yet is that I still get a brown background to the Gnome
splash screen. It looks particularly hideous with a blue splash screen
on top of it!
