I'm getting close to a decision on a new computer for my family. What Linux desk-top would be best at this point?
I have not used it extensively, but there are a number of users of Ubuntu. The large user base means good support on forums and mailing lists. Many recommend Kubuntu, but I am personally not a fan of KDE. KDE is a very easy to use system, though, because it is very similar in look and feel to Windows.
Personally, I am using Fedora, which installs by default both Gnome and KDE.
For a "family computer", I'd go with Ubuntu/Kubuntu. For a "geek computer", Fedora would be good. Either one will require a bit of time to get working with some things, but the end result is a good experience.
