Debian, Fedora, Slackware, and Gentoo? These distros all require some linux preexperience to be able to configure properly.
Why not throw in at least one newbie-friendly distro. Long before Ubuntu came into the picture, Mandrake was the pioneer in newbie-friendly and I think Mandriva should be in the list of "basic" distros. All distros that claim to be newbie-friendly have stolen ideas from Mandrake/Mandriva in one way or the other.
