Arch Linux. "Now here's the best part of running Arch Linux, the
whole frigging thing just works! Installing XFCE automatically installed
everything I needed for XFree86. Fonts are anti-aliased and sized well in
both Mozilla and Sylpheed, two programs which typically look hideous in
most other distributions I've tried. Getting my sound card working was as
simple as installing the alsa-driver with pacman, adding the sound card
driver to the list of drivers to load and adding a couple permission lines
to another configuration file. Which leads me to another nice feature about
Arch. Most configuration only has to be done in a handful of files which
are well documented in the installation instructions. No hunting through
mailing list archives to get your system up and running."
