which lunix distro?

I've used Slackware since 1994 but I'm looking for something that isn't such a pain in the ass.  I've learned everything I need to learn from Slackware's pain-in-the-assness, so I want to take it easy and use a more user-friendly distribution.

Is Ubuntu any good?  Fedora?  What about Mandrake?  Gentoo?

Truth

Too much compile-obsessed faggots with too much time to waste compiling shit. Compiling IS shit. One of the reasons why I like interpreted languages is you don't need to compile shit. Yet Unixfags manage to still difference between source code and bin- sou- whatever, and still toss their makefiles, configure and other GNU shit in there as in they wanted you to have to deal with that bullshit.
