Kubuntu

Well Kubuntu GNU/Linux was released a little while ago and what an excellent operating system its clean, stylish, and fast.
Kubuntu is basically the Ubuntu GNU/Linux operating system with the KDE desktop.
The latest version is 6.06 Dapper Drake, you can download Kubuntu from http://www.kubuntu.org/index.php There were a few apps I had to install
one being mp3 support and a few multimedia apps like the Gimp, fyre, Cinepaint, inkscape, and Scribus I also had to install Firefox the best Web browser in the entire Universe
sorry but I really do think it is :) I know a lot of people go on about GNU/Lnux, it doesn't do this, it doesn't do that why cant I use this program, why cant I play mp3's strait out of the box.
I think we all must remember that GNU/Linux is not Windows, its not Mac its GNU/Linux
and it does things differently. But it is easy to use, its extremely powerful, very robust and Free as in Freedom. So I think give it a try if you don't like it you have nothing to lose but a blank disc. Ubuntu/Kubuntu will even send one out to you for free, now you cant get better than that can you go for it :)
