I use openSUSE 11.2 myself-most everything Just Works.

I did have to get the driver from my scanner form the Epson website now, as they suddenly don't like including proprietary drivers in the distribution.  I'm just about to install 11.3 beta into a spare partition...

I just installed XP Pro on a laptop for a friend-almost 9 hours to install XP and all of the drivers and updates.  I can set up openSUSE in a bit more than an hour, and that's on my desktop where I need to do a bunch of symlinking as part of the setup (I should write a script to do it)...

I haven't tried Ubuntu in years because there is no root account.  There are some things you just can't do with sudo, like move your home directory, which I do as part of every install I do...
