Current using PCLinuxOS which I got off an APC magazine coverdisk.
I'm impressed and everything works. Codecs, DVD and other stuff that
most distros shy away from including for legal fears.
KDE based, which is my personal preference.
Uses Synaptic to manage updates and adding packages.
I always thought Synaptic was for .deb packages but PCLinuxOS is RPM
based. Maybe they recognised a good thing and adapted it.
Not for purists. Good for newbies.

My brother installed it (with only the slightest assistance from me)
on his laptop and his desktop. He's not a techie but he is a fast
learner and I don't think he needed my help.

At some stage I might try another distro, but for now I'm happy with
the one I've got.
