I'll second debian.
Storm is debian underneath BTW.

I have a StormLinux box and a custom /etc/apt/sources.list that allowed
for upgrade to KDE2 and Gnome-Helix in about 20 minutes, unattended.

Yes, I will bring my Debian Laptop and demonstrate if anyone cares to see apt in action.
I will share my sources.list as well.

Example upgrade:
apt-get update
apt-get -f install
apt-get dist-upgrade or apt-get upgrade or apt-get dselect-upgrade

Example install:
apt-get update
apt-get install lynx-ssl

example package search:
apt-cache search gnome
apt-cache show gnome-games

No reboots and dependencies are checked and installed for you.
