I have been pretty happy with Xubuntu, I get all the Ubuntu benefits without the Unity or GNOME 3 mess.

But you don't get all the benefits :( For example, Xubuntu (IIRC) won't even have a Wifi widget for setting up your network. If you mount a pendrive, how do you access? You have to open a a file explorer or you won't see it... etc.
