ubuntu
They drink it in the congo.
After not having used linux for a year decided to give this a shot. First tried the AMD64 version which was a disaster. You end up running a bunch of 32 bit stuff and plugins etc together with the 64 bit. I got fed up of endless workarounds and mysterious crashes.
Tried kubuntu x386.
You need something called automatix to get all multimedia codecs and so on installed. I've had crashes so far in kate, and kmail which I used to run for months at a time with 'nary a peep'. I might try upgrading to kde 3.5, but its all very disappointing. Also the mplayer plugin in firefox doesn't seem to quit with firefox. In terms of stability the infamous desktop linux has gone backwards.
