Here's my 2 cents.  Fedora is great for a desktop.  Yes, it /does/ have 
a shorter cycle than most.  But that's the price of bleeding edge.

However, I've argued with myself over this for a while and, while I like 
Kubuntu (my Mom uses it), I am sold on Gentoo.  No upgrade cycle is 
needed, since you upgrade packages as you want/need.  Granted the one 
downside is you have to compile everything, but, for me, that's a small 
price to pay for no upgrade cycle.
