Arch indeed seems to be very popular around here, I use it on my 
notebook as well. For me it brings all the flexibility I want, 
like Gentoo, but without the hassles of compiling everything 
yourself, and also does an excellent job of not getting in my 
way. For technically minded people, the documentation (ArchWiki) 
is in my opinion among the best, if not the best, of all Linux 
distributions right now.

I wouldn't want to install it on my parent's machine though, 
you'll definitely end up using the command line and/or editing 
config files to tweak settings though.

But of course, this is a highly subjective issue…
