Well. That's not terribly helpful ;) 

But I *am* considering switching from Ubuntu. There
are a lot of things that irk me about it, mainly that
I can't have a damn root account. I'd like to be able
to just log in as root, get a bunch of
system-affecting tasks done and log back out like a
normal person without having to sudo this and sudo
that and reenter my password every 15 minutes. Drives
me nuts.

And I *like* Gnome! I tried KDE briefly -- wasn't for
me, it reminded me too much of Macs.
