Linux for a noob

Im still deciding as to which Distro i should load to dual boot. Always been a Kubuntu fan but started to think i might change (Introduction of Dolphin shocks me!!!, not suprised as ubuntu is a gnome project :P).

Anyway im after a KDE enviroment that looks as good as Vista ( i shall explain further on ) and if not debian, is quite often updated and has a good package manager.

When i say as good as vista, the Openoffice found in Ubuntu/Kubuntu looks ugly where as the version in windows is quite minimalistic and professional like (i know its not a word :P) I also find everything looks alot nicer on windows (Especially vista :P).

Perhaps try Fedora.
 
Suse is the best for newbies
atleast it was for me
 
I dont really like how Redhat and Debian use a stable old kernel for ages then upgrade it to the latest, so maybe no to Fedora.

I downloaded suse and ill give that a go, i like the integration of openoffice and i want to see how bad the package managment truly is :P

Fedora doesn't use the old kernels. Fedora isn't the same as Red Hat. It's always ahead, as it's not aimed at the enterprise market.
