My Reviews:
Fedora Core:
For some reason, this distribution always leaves a bad taste in my mouth if I ever use it for anything more than a no-X server package. From init-3, I find it's easier to configure services through chkconfig. From a desktop perspective, though, it just feels half-baked. Though I imagine any X11/Xorg instance you have up and running is only as good as the amount of time you put into it. But, "out of the box", Fedora doesn't impress.
I like FC6, but then again I'm using a laptop with the world's most incompatible soundcard. FC6 is one of only 2 distros I've ever seen that actually support it all, let alone straight out of the box.
Once you get it off the ground, you'll find it ships with everything and more to come. I'll probably regret it later, though [grin]. I use it because of the gcc command line, and the fact that Linux as a general rule comes with/has available in some form the kitchen sink and much more when it comes to software development.

I've tried Fluxbox and installing KDE as an afterthought, but both seem out of place. While I doubt Kubuntu will be much different, that's next on my list.
I used normal Ubuntu with KDE, and it was fine. I've heard Kubuntu's awful, from various people, and many believe that normal Ubuntu with KDE is the way forward.
I can't personally see the difference, though.
