what should I say ?

I never had much success with Ubuntu, I have now settled on PcLinuxOS which I highly recommend. I run it on different laptops and desktops and it is stable whilst not lagging in terms of eye-candies (3D desktop etc...) if you are into this. It is clearly a desktop-oriented distro but that being said it is my primary dev machine with a good few servers running (vmware, sybase, apache ...) and it is very stable for me.

I agree. If you're a KDE guy then PCLinuxOS is the way to go. If you're Gnome, then go for Linux Mint.
