I think I'm going to try Fedora next. It's installer and menus seem pretty friendly, at least as far as I can tell by looking st screenshots.
A word of advice with Fedora Core 5...

Try to find an updated binary install. The original version of FC5 used an older kernel which didnt support the use of non GPL licensed software. This gave me a little bit of grief when trying to install graphics drivers!

Either way "yum upgrade kernel" should fix any problems you have with that.
