I won't suggest a distro, but I can think of a few things that are nice
to have 'just work'. Whatever distro provides these gets my vote, we
are voting..right?

1. Flash, Java
2. Acroread
3. Hotplug...auto mounting of USB/Firewire devices.
4. Libdvdcss2 :-)/multimedia support.
5. there is more... memtest86 failure.
