Give Dreamlinux a look. Its a Brazillian distro, but their 
English support is pretty good.
http://www.dreamlinux.com.br/english/index.html

Its debian based with a XFCE desktop. The latest version 
has a lot of Multi-media programs added compared to 
previous versions.

They have a live cd if you just want to try it out. Their 
using the Engage toolbar from enlightment instead of the 
XFCE tool bar. Engage seemed a little unstable, but it 
gives you that fancy mac-like expanding icon on mouseover.

The rest of the distro seemed stable.
