    I would try Kubuntu or Mint. The will both give you experience of a different DE, but you can retain the familiarity of the same package management of Ubuntu.

    I do a lot of testing and playing around with different distros, and I always end up coming back to Slackware. There's really just nothing like it. You learn a lot about Linux by using Slackware. Although I haven't tried something like LFS, which I expect is even more the case.

    I'm currently playing with Sabayon 9 (KDE), though.

    I'm currently dual booting 12.04 (for day to day tasks) and gentoo (for audio production). I've not ben able to get the raw performance for low latency audio from any other distro, but I suppose that's to be expected.

    Fedora 17 "Beefy Miracle" Installed it because I was bored, and I fell in love with it. Converted from 12.04.

    Today, I am rediscovering Sabayon, which is Gentoo-based. It is also really nice. I am running it with the FluxBox desktop.
