The reason that I first started using Mandrake Linux years ago was that it was the first whose installer ran to completion out of 6 I tried, and which was neither red hat nor debian. There were problems with the default X configuration on that system; I always had to use "startx" on it, too, for that matter. One place where Linux-based systems do well is in catering to minority needs, not just the 70%. Languages (e.g. Icelandic or Welsh), unusual or older hardware, and people with individual needs, all can be included.
