Debian or Debian based.( Ubuntu, Userlinux) A lot of folks complain of
outdated packages on Debian Stable, but I like the long release cycle,
as long as the basic functionality is there for what I do. The upcoming
Sarge release will be the first release to adequately support a
business desktop environment, all the latest from the major Free
software camps.

Debian fits the bill as a very manageable system also, and Debian
Testing is not any more dangerous to use, for desktops, than any other
distro providing the same packages.
