I use LinSpire on one of my systems and I find myself using that system most often because it is low maintenance and stable. The only downside to LinSpire is the boot time, it takes about 3 minutes to boot on almost any system you install it on. I'm playing with the open version of xandros as we speak, but if you are not that familiar with Linux, I would give linspire a shot. I really don't think you will be dissapointed.
