Give Mandriva 2008.1 a try. I'm very pleased with it and, based on my own
experience, it's better than Ubuntu (of which I've used many versions of the
years, including the first).

Mandriva is RPM-based, just like Red Hat that you've already used. The
repository is similar to that of Debian/Ubuntu, so there's nothing but messing
about with tickboxes to manage software. There's so sudo and the command line
is obsolete.
