This was discussed as having a "PLUG preferred" install or distribution
and a "PLUG preferred" desktop just before the last InstallFest in
October.  Rather than re-hash it all again, go to the list archive and
read around in this thread:
http://lists.plug.phoenix.az.us/lurker/thread/20030911.082847.c8b098d7.html#20030911.082847.c8b098d7

The bottom line is that I don't think you will get the entire group to
agree on a single "preferred" install.  If we had a standing committee
dedicated to helping do installs and tech support, I think I could live
with the members of that committee deciding to support only a certain
install.  They would be the ones always doing the work so they can choose
what they want to work with.

It would be better, I think to have a document comparing the general
strengths and target focus of each distribution and desktop.  Let the user
decide from that.  A good start for such a document might be this recent
one:

If, after considering the previous discussion on the topic, you feel
strongly enough or have some new ideas, by all means, share them.
