"I have always wondered what is it that makes people embrace Ubuntu over other Linux distributions. After some pondering, it struck me that the unique selling point of Ubuntu is its user friendliness. Ubuntu is a distribution targeted at the non-techie crowd - those that want to get their job done and not spend time tinkering with the OS. And consequently, the developers at Ubuntu have bundled simple easy to use GUI front end tools to achieve common system administration tasks. Here I have put together 10 things in Ubuntu that make a new user's life that much simple."

Well, they had a HUGE upgrade recently, but from what I see, the rough spots are past them.
If you install with 7.0, and do a full system upgrade post install, you will be running a 7.1 system.
There is a 7.1 install cd in RC form right now that can be used, its pretty stable.
As for a tinkerors os, arch is definately the one you are looking for.
