What's the best distribution?

[gaf at blu.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I worked for the Polatoid ID division, and we maintained a Debian server at 
the customer site. I found deselect to be ugly, counter-intuative, ornery 
and time consuming. However it was very good at resolving dependencies. At 
home I had a Red Hat Alpha system. I them installed Debian on my PC. I 
became disenchanted with Debian because they were so slow to release new 
versions. I tried SuSE, and found SuSE's YaST (old YaST1) to be very much 
like deselct, but much faster. I generaly recommend SuSE or Mandrake to new 
users, but when someone is a reasonably experienced technical person, I 
also recommend Debian (and Red Hat).
