They are all going to be buggy at times.

I purchased slackware first up and couldn't get it to install.
Someone recommended Red Hat (Info Magic 6 CD dist) and it installed
straight off the CD rom, (no install floppies).

I also like the red hat list for help, but it can flood
your mailbox with 400+ messages a day.
