Going to re-install, looking for distro suggestions

Advertisements [?]

So my HD is on it's last legs and the new one is in the mail, so I'm shopping around (so to speak) for what distro I'm going to use. I've used Mandrake 9.1 & 10.0 which I'm on now. I think I'm going to go full linux, no win partition too this time :D I mostly use the machine for surfing, mp3 player/ripping, and games.
Anyway, I'm running an AMD 1.4GHz on an Asus mobo, onboard GForce2, nvidia audio and lan(that doesn't work under the 2.6.3 for me). I'm downloading the ubuntu live disk to give that a try and have a backup just in case. So what's your favorite distro and why?
