What's the best distro for me or my friends, even knowing our preferences, is hard to say. For us it depends mostly on what hardware will the distro be used, is the target system a server, a workstation or a laptop and in what environment will the system occur. For servers we're using either debian stable or sles, for workstation opensuse, ubuntu or centos, for laptops opensuse or ubuntu. Nevertheless I set up also few clients with a customized gentoo, but it took a hell of my time to build it. The result however I like very much. I think that for completely beginners an opensuse, a ubuntu or a centos will the distro most easy to set up and very much convenient in use. For those who already are tainted by linux....Well you know better than me what you like and what ain't. Last but not least. Yast2 IMO is definitely a core advantage of opensuse. However in time and with slightly growing experience I found it more annoying than helpful and such prefer now to edit scripts myself.
