I have recently been using ubuntu server edition for my desktop of all things. It seems to be faster, more stable, and a whole lot more usable than the normal 'bloated' desktop they seem to ship. I installed basic kde 4.1 (which has come a long nicely), and feel no need at this time to go back to gnome. I had previously hated kde, and usually went with gnome or xfce4.
My load times from a suspended system to working (from power on) is 60 seconds. That means they FINALLY have hibernation working (never worked before on ANY linux distro for my desktop!), and things 'just work.' I am happily surprised thus time. Also my open office load times went from 45 seconds in fc8 to 9 seconds in Ubuntu 8.10 server edition.
