I've been using Kanotix for some time now. It uses KDE. It's the only
distro out of many I've tried that just worked perfectly out of the
box. Everything worked: Printer, sound, modem, CD-burner... It's
beautiful.

It's a live-cd based on Debian Unstable. If you want to install it to
your harddrive, it becomes straight Debian Unstable. It doesn't
require special distro-specific repositories for packages like some
of the Debian-based distros do.
