maybe the distro is not that important, and more interesting is the answer
to the question "what is the typical user doing with it's computer?"

in this regard, i'd start at mauriat miranda's fedora checklist, and add to
it depending on user's needs.

(
actually, when fc6 ended it's life, i wanted to switch one friend's notebook
to centos 5. unfortunately, the (new,hp) printer didn't worked, after it was
bought because the lexmark mfp didn't worked, and after it worked fine on
fc6. so the notebook ended in fedora 9.
