It seems to me that a lot of attention lately in the commercial Linux development area has concentrated on either large enterprise customers, or wooing the home user who can barely turn a computer on. Even distros claiming to offer the perfect solution for both ends of the spectrum don't quite seem to fit what I am looking for.

Debian based might be a good suggestion to a newbie. But debian itself, never. Dselect, taskel, and the rest of the installer is too tough. Redhat and SuSE are a lot easier to a new user.
Debian with apt-get is very powerful but I think most new users would benefit from SuSE Pro, Lindows, Lycoris, or something of that nature. If the new user is a true geek, them maybe Gentoo or Slack 9.
