I totally agree with Robert. I've used all of the major distros. I feel Ubuntu is the best one. Yes, the upstream dev's change how things work. We learn what the changes are, and adapt. In the end, I haven't see any changes that I disagree with. Even the xorg.conf issue, which I hated initially. Now--I know how to configure without it and don't even consider it an issue.
