I use openSuSE as my main backend and on various frontends, I like it and their philosophy but it is much more tricky to get setup. EG if you are going to get packages from pacman then mythweb does/did not work.
If you are at all naive about unix or building or myth setup then ubuntu holds your hand, but you are out of luck if you don't like chocolate flavour, that's all they do.
