amsunaakage,

Debian: www.debian.org
slackware: http://www.slackware.com/

both these distros allow you to be in complete control of your system. relies
strictly on the user to know what they are doing. Sounds like this applies to you. Ubuntu on the other hand is based on debian and is more "bleeding edge" than Debian and does alot of Hand holding, however if you want to learn Linux Debian or Slackware is ideal

PS: What problems did you have with FC5?
Many problems are just a result of mixing the wrong repos...

I fellow to what jens said. Choose whatever Distri you want you'll come back and yell oh... I sooo sad using Debian.
Try LINUX_XP, looks like xp and is easy as ubuntu and uses rpms.

Moved to Linux-distributions where it will soon join its hundreds of
siblings of the same slant :}



Cheers,
