I felt the same way and the constant reluctance to release a new build became a real issue for me. So I went out and started trying other distros. Ubuntu has come out top IMO. Its debian based so you get all the convenience of easy package management. Has a 6month release schedule, is more focused on desktop usage ( although there is a server install available ) is focused on only the major platforms i.e. x86, AMD64, PPC. Considering they've not been around long they've done a seriously good job on their first release and the new Hoary release is set to be even better. As an added bonus myth packages are in their archive repository making myth install a breeze. http://www.ubuntulinux.org Simon.
