I have tried many, I have a stack of cds here, I wanted to get into ubuntu after
seeing the videos Nixie Pixle put onto youtube.com and liked what she did with
stuff like compiz fusion, which I haven't had time to look into, but i wanted to
know how to do it and thought comands she uses in ubuntu wont work elsewhere...
I've used mandrake a lot before so I am dl mandriva to see how that is.

pclinuxos annoyd me because the firewall utility seemed to malfunction,
systemwise it would say it was running, but when you opened the gui it wasnt,
furthermore, the gui has to open up a window and it wouldnt stay in the system
tray so it was always tabbed which was annoying.

mepis (too small a community/lack of support, I didnt like the feel either but I
was pleased it did wifi out the box (if my memeory serves me well)

Fedora, more problems than Ubuntu,

Debian, cant do wifi networking,

mepis Anti x, no longer supported,

opensuse had issues installing some popular packages

and more after that...
