I'm a big fan of Archlinux but I'm not the sort of fool to recommend it to someone who doesn't enjoy the timesink and/or doesn't already have a good grasp on how Linux works.
Speaking of which, behold my ugly, utterly-unriced system that I just got installed on this laptop. I've only had time to make things usable and functional, so far. Once I find a suitable wallpaper or render that I really, really like, and have the time, I'll get down to the rice :3
