It's hard to say if you didn't like Ubuntu. You could try switching the DE/WM for Ubuntu, which would change the interface entirely, which I'm sure is what you're looking for.
I have always hated Ubuntu so you should try something like Linux Mint or Fedora, I will also be writing an article on helping you pick a distro
sounds good i will be interested in reading your article
How about dual booting backtrack 5 instead of linux?
BackTrack is Linux.
Use a virtual machine to test OS's. (Virtualbox)
Try Linux Mint like Matt suggested(more windowsy and IMO more pretty than ubuntu)
Otherwise you might like #! or Sabayon Awesome. Very lightweight distro's. Hmm... I suggest using backtrack as a live USB more than anything else. For a lap/desk system choose something that does not come preloaded with a bunch of web analysis and penetration testing tools. Hard to deny hacking claims if your pc is jampacked with those.... :P (Implying anyone would look at your pc in the first place.)
Backtrack 5 is mainly for web and network analysis, it is ubuntu 10.04 based and uses the 2.6.XXX Linux Kernel so its a little outdated.
I will try to get the article post by this weekend so thats when you can expect it.
