People like me can so easily manipulate results

 

[led_shankar]

but why would you want to?

 

[mehulved]

Not fair. It recommends Gentoo for gurus. That's not true at all.

 

[led_shankar]

hehe..is it for newbies, then?

Listed in order of recommendation, starting from the first one:

Ubuntu - Nine faces

Mandriva - Eight faces
Vector - Seven faces
Mepis - Six faces
Gentoo - Six faces
Fedora - Five faces
Debian - Four faces
Slackware - Three faces


I already have Ubuntu installed on Parallels Desktop, but I never use it.

Gaaash, I got fedora on 3rd!

intermediates who can read. Just look at the vast amount of docs gentoo has. To the point, extensive, well written, mostly uptodate.

 

[led_shankar]

@mehulved: okay

 

[NucleusKore]

No mention of Open SuSE :-S

Its sad but guys lets face it "Gentoo is dying" and its sad to see such a lovely project come to such an abrupt end. So for a starter the ideal choice today is Ubuntu.

 

[praka123]

^can u explain where n why gentoo is dying?I dont see any infact child distros for gentoo too are emerging like sabayon

also for a new Linux user now the choice for first distro may be Ubuntu for GNOME lovers and PCLinux OS for Kde fans.

Yeah, this one seems a lot more precise and a lot less guesswork.

I got Mandriva as the result. I am actually thinking of trying this one now. Parallels Desktop, here I come.

 

[cynosure]

Vector linux was the winner when I filled the form. Ubuntu came second. But I think its ubuntu for me
