Due to a conflict between its primary developers, Kanotix's development has 
suffered.  Some of the Kanotix developers started a new distribution 
called "Sidux", which you might try if you are wedded to Kanotix.  Otherwise, 
I'd say that plain old Debian is no longer the bear it used to be, and can 
certainly offer a user experience not unlike the more "desktop-focused" 
distributions.  I personally use the "testing" branch for my work machine 
haven't had so much as a hiccup.  I've been all over the map to find a decent 
distro, but Debian is the only one I've found that I would recommend.  If you 
need help, or just want to know a little more, just give a shout on the PLUG 
IRC.

P.S.  Ubuntu may get a great share of the spotlight, but I've found it has 
serious problems with the quality of its software and its development 
practises.
