I agree that 11.04 has had it's issues with crashes and such, but the previous couple of releases were pretty damn solid. I started with Red Hat back in 2002, then *attempted* Debian and Arch, successfully used Fedora, Ubuntu and Mint. I'm clearly no Linux guru, but Ubuntu has easily been the most stable/usable in my experience.
However, I'd definitely be willing to give some others a try. My test laptop has been hanging out, waiting for something new to fire up.
