Linux Mint for me. I use it on all of my laptops and PC's. Mint has all of the perks of Ubuntu, but with a 'prettier' interface, more functional menu, as well as a plethora of additional functions that are lacking in most other distros.

Normally I would never disagree with a Liverpool supporter but I think Mandriva does KDE better. Can't argue with Ubuntu though

I was surprised to see the recommendation for me was OpenSUSE and not Ubuntu. (Which I just installed?!) I think the main reason for the recommendation is that I am using a 4 or 5 year old computer for the install. However, it does have 1 GB RAM and a 256 MB Nvidia video card (it's my old gaming machine). I'm curious, how different is OpenSUSE from Ubuntu?

Same deal with computers same results on exact same models. WHAT works best on YOUR hardware. Most serious *buntu users wind up with an LTS version, SLED is the choice of Suse serious users. Both of the above are good to build your system on, just do some testing and see what you and your system can live with. |

I did while it was still in V3 but the latest is too "funky" for my tastes. This Plasma Dashboard thing and stuff just doesn't do it for me. Not only that, Gnome has advanced quite a bit itself and overall I just find it more stable and certainly less resource hungry. I've had to tweak the themes in Ubuntu to get happy but now I prefer the whole thing to Windows.
