Then you might want reviews that can be found in http://distrowatch.com
There are plenty of them for every distro.
Something else, it seems that Ubuntu is the popular choice here in the forums. :wink:

All I can say is Ubuntu!
It is simple to get up and running, plus the apt-get / Synaptic package manager is great. It will help you get all the functionallity out of your Ubuntu system once the install is done. That is how the Ubuntu team keeps the install to a single CD-ROM.
I am fairly new to Linux because I could never find a compelling Linux distro to actually use. Ubuntu is the most usable that I have found. It is actually fun for me to work with. I currently have Code::Blocks running on Ubuntu in XFCE windows manager. It is working great. I just have to get debugging working. ( I just haven't asked here how to do that :wink: )
I would like to make a wiki entry for the exact steps I took to get Code::Blocks up and running on a virgin Ubuntu install. If someone has already a quick guide I would love to see it.
Thanks. Good question.

Really?!........a second vote of confidence......Interesting.....
I was automatically drawn to Debian because I love the fact that it has such a catalog of software.......and they are very upfront about what is stable and what isn't.....
I may have to try both.......Maybe Ubuntu first because its only one disk vs 15......
All I have to say is that I just want something functional, it doesn't have to be easy or forgiving because i'm willing to learn. But in this case, after all day, I couldn't see from all the blood in my eyes from banging my head up ageinst the wall.....

For Linux Gentoo. It has a graphical install now for the less venturesome. :lol: It runs all three.
OpenBSD is by far my favorite OS. It is a BSD derivitive, and it is very secure. The only thing with OpenBSD is that some of the ports lag behind. (Lack of manpower) WINE is far behind, (not really OpenBSD's fault). Umm C::B haven't tried it. Only reason it wouldn't work is because wx is at 2.4.2 on it. :P BTW with OpenBSD intaller is text based. I find that cool. 8)
EDIT:
I will hasten to add that OpenBSD is not Linux. :wink:
