The ubuntu os's seem, from my very limited experience, to be the most user friendly linux distros around.

I use amarok for music on ubuntu and vlc for all video playback.

It is nice when you install something and it just works out of the box.

Spent 6 hours yesterday sourcing drivers for an iqon phillips desktop xp machine for a colleague as it couldn't find them.

I haven't tried Gos but i may give it a whirl. is there a live cd for it?

Oh and if you get a chance have a play with advanced desktop settings and compiz.
