Depends on what you use it for, too. I use my Linux boxes as home
servers. Once they're solid and upgrading, I don't care about having
the latest and greatest distro. Debian was a little rough around the
edges for the install, but I don't intend to re-install unless there's
a really compelling reason to or the hard drive takes a dump.

If you're looking for a desktop system or a system you install more
often, Fedora looks pretty good, as do some of the more
desktop-oriented distros. X on Debian took quite a bit of work for me
to get working.
