if your looking for other Distros try these:

Kubuntu
http://www.kubuntu.org/

Mandriva

PCLinuxOS .92

ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/metalab/distributions/texstar/pclinuxos/live-cd/english/preview/

This is the distro I use and recommend, Why because it works right out of the box. No need to configure Everything, everything just works. It also comes as a 1 CD install that is a live CD that you can install later if you wish.
