Debian is the way for somebody with computer savvy. Most people who
reads docs could do good, but most people don't like reading. I know a
debian user who had to use Mandrake here at work and he was surprised
when the sound card was already configured and we didn't even have to
tell it which drivers to use. Even though, a few weeks later he was
installing Debian on that system, thankfully.
