I've only used Debian and Fedora and they both seem good to me.

Gentoo and Slackware are my favorites distros.

but, i choice Gentoo for my desktop, because the package manager, portage is cool Cool
The box said "Requires M$ Windows or better." So I installed LINUX.

Same situation but I chose Debian. I used Red Hat products mainstream for a while before I discovered debain and I like them then but since I found debian based distros I have developed a strong dislike for Fedora (and other Red Hat OS').

These days I'm alot more open with the distros I use but if I can get a debian based one I'm alot happier.

I love Ubuntu, it is a really good OS with good support and regular updates, I also found it fairly easy to move to from XP!

SLAX is fast and beautiful Linux operating system which fits on small (3.14") CD-ROM disc. It runs directly from the CD (or USB) without installing. The Live CD described here is based on the Slackware Linux distribution and uses Unification File System (also known as unionfs), allowing read-only filesystem to behave as a writable one, saving all changes to memory. i like this distro Smile

I have used quite a lot of linux distributions like suse, mandrake, mandriva, ubuntu, slackware, fedora... I like Slackware very much as you can install it even in an old computer and have stability and speed! Fedora also worked fine for me as i did everything i wanted to do easily enough!

I havent tried any other OS. Only Red Hat, so i'll choose Red Hat, I think all OS are hard to configure, but a little practice and study about that OS, i think you'll get the hang of it.

Mandrake is garbage, slackware is for me best linux there is, its very very simple and yet fast.
Everything worked on slack...

My vote goes out to Fedora. I think it's one of the most complete, stable and user-friendly linux distro. I've had a good experience with Ubuntu aswell but I'd rather use Fedora instead Smile
