Guys pls come to a conclusion... Everyone is giving their own preference of linux. I am confused. I dont mind whether its real linux or not. All i need is stability and ease of use. It should not be too complicated. This is my condition. Is there any one?
There are 355 Distros of Linux on distrowatch.com . Out of which the small 10% (This might be a gross over/under estimation so please dont nitpick) of folks on this forum who do run Linux use about 10 different distros . Each one chooses a certain distro and will obviously recommend it cause no one is going to install an "unstable" distro. Again Ill start from the beginning.
Ubuntu - Easy to use, large community , you need a internet connection (fast one preferred) . Ill be doing a review of Ubuntu 8.04 Soon once I get my Distro copy from a friend
.
Mint - Easy to use, large community (I think Ubuntu and Debian folks wouldnt mind helping out with Mint here and there), Better Out of Box Support since it comes with stuff you need for multimedia etc.
Sabayon - This thing contains a huge box of software and has a ton of stuff preloaded , a bit more harder to use and upgrading applications seem to be a pita. I wouldn't mind using this if I didnt have an Internet connection.
The others which I have heard are easy are Mandriva , Fedora and OpenSuse?
