i'm currently auditioning Linux distributions on a 64-bit PC. the livecds i have lined up are all based on Ubuntu and i feel like i should branch out.

knowing that:
i do not fear the command line but don't feel up to a Gentoo or Slackware level of tinkering
i do not need or desire a replication of the Windows UI experience

any distribution you recommend? (or unrecommend?)
