As the title says... I used Arch Linux for a while and liked it a lot: leightweight, sleek, fast and well documented with a great community.

However I had to format my hd and for the sake of being too lazy to reinstall arch, I used windows 7 exclusively for a while. Now I want to get back to linux again (still dual boot), mainly for web development purposes and using handy tools such as rsync ect. Again, I liked Arch, but there is too much tweeking, too much reading up and too much figuring out what to do as well es some bad suprises especially when you need them the least and when just quickly want to get some work done.

I kind of would like to have a little more "out of the box" distro that is still fast and somewhat leighweight and of course reliable.

I actually considered Ubuntu, which I am not too big of a fan of, but I will still give the minimal install a shot.

However other distros seem interesting as well, such as crunchbang and mint debian ecpecially.

My question, hoping this isn't too boring for many you, what is the right distro for me?
