When I turn linux I'm going with Mint first, and then get Ubuntu. SO SICK OF WINDOWS.

Good choice.

Mint & Kubuntu are great operating systems to ease into Linux. (tip: Get WINE)

If I ever need to run something from windows, that will be games. Nothing else. And likely only 1 game every 6 months, if any. I'm trading Windows Live Messenger for Pidgin, Windows Media Player for VLC media player and even Photoshop for GIMP.
I don't even know why I use WLM or WMP, there's way better software out there for windows, I guess I'm just too lazy to search for it. No, not search for it, install it. I know of better alternatives, just too busy and stuff. That's why IE is, unfortunately, the most used browser. As for browsers I'm already using Chrome, which came out for Linux a few weeks ago.

Err you do realise that you posted pretty much the same distro 4 times. On each only the UI Is different. Guts are mostly the same on each :/

I like Ubuntu for simple computer task. Ubuntu Studios for my usual day stuff. Mandriva is my favourite though. (Old mandrake fan here )

Chrome has been on linux for a year, just not stable lol.

I've used

• Mandriva (Free 2006-2010.0, One 2008.1-2010.0, PowerPack 2009.0-2010.0, and Corporate/Enterprise 4/5 thus far) (which is my distro of choice due to a combination of user friendliness AND power)
  
• Red Hat Linux 9, RHEL 4 and 5
  
• Fedora Core 7, 9, 11, 12
  
• Ubuntu 6
  
• Slackware (don't even ask for a list of versions, I don't remember them all)
  
• Debian (Same as Slackware)
  
• Puppy Linux
  
• Damn Small Linux
  
• Gentoo
  
• FreeBSD/NetBSD
  
• SuSE
  
• Yellow Dog
  
• LinuxROM (aka Pizza Box Linux lol)
  
• Lindows
  
• Linspire
  
• KNOPPIX
  
• CentOS
  

As well as PS2 Linux, XBOX Linux, and Dreamcast Linux

Now keep in mind, most of these I only DABBLED to see if I liked them.

For those who aren't familiar with PizzaBox Linux, enjoy these photos of the machine which inspired this FlashROM based distro

@Ral, could you run a home server in that? (Like would it overheat. Never goes off?)

I have used mainly Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Linux Mint, Dragonfly, Gentoo, Archlinux and Dreamlinux

Its used as a firewall and/or router I believe. Or in the case of the one pictured a file server. Nothing heavy duty or resource intensive like a scripting webserver with database support. Especially not with only a 100MHz CPU.
