Okay, seriously then, what distro would be a good choice for the average home user? I'm trying to answer that question myself, while searching for good distros for my younger brothers to run; they both have some computer experience, but only with Windows, and I have a personal thing against Debian-based distros after the time that three different Debian/Ubuntu installs failed in the same way within a week. Any suggestions?

Ubuntu is really making an effort, so I wouldn't hold earlier failure against them. The 7.04 desktop release sounds promising if you aren't tied to RedHat-style administration: http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntudesktop704
