Christopher:
I have come out of SuSE. Used it for the four or five years. Till the costs 
got to high for the pro edition, and too many things started to go bad/not 
work. Also was getting hard to find all the applications I wanted or needed 
in RPM easy to install form. I switched to PCLinuxOS about six months ago I 
have all the applications I want including the hard to get Gramps (geneology 
Program) and Kmymoney2. Gramps is developed on Red Hat and they also have 
some one making debs for it. Outside of Red Hat/Fedora and Debian Gramps is 
hard to find and the Gnome dependencies make it a pain to try and compile. So 
my focus is looking for a distro that is better than PCLinuxOS (ie better 
support for hardware, and faster) that has all the applications in a easy to 
download and install form. I am currently looking a Slack, Ark, and Onebase. 
But my main concern is find Gramps in any easy to install form and having 
Multimedia work with out too much hassle. I would go with Red Hat/Fedora 
except for the Gnome centerism (I am KDE all the way), and the fact that I 
fell it is lacking in the hardware support/detection area (had to many 
problems in the past). So I concentrate on LIveCD distrobutions that can be 
tested before install and continue to look for my applications to be there.
