Hi, I tried so far Debian, Suse, Gentoo and Mandrive. I am using Ubuntu for all my server/workstations and it works quite well. For gEDA I compiled it to get the newest version but it isn't that difficult, ./configure, make , sudo make install. It is quite easy to begin with ubuntu as it doesn't require any special configuration at the set up. Applications as OpenOffice, Firefox, Gaim(IRC, MSN etc...), Gimp run out of the box. It uses the same package management as Debian which is quite good. You sometimes even can install packages for Debian, because they just took debian and made it more userfriendly.
