Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris When I first started playing with Linux (RedHat Distribution -- Version 5.2 Deluxe), it was a present from a father's friend in Boston. As I recall that is the only version of RedHat I ever got to work correctly without any major problems (like "Kernel Segmentation Error" or something to that effect).

Something that is even cooler is the fact that these projects have postitive spin offs for other operating systems such as FreeBSD, Solaris and so-forth.

That is the one cool thing I do like about opensource, the ability to port applications to your particular operating system.

As for usability and so forth, one only needs to look at the people now involved. Sure, they don't have the same ideas and Microsoft, however, they are making their respective projects usable and accessable.
