well, I don't understand why Ubuntu became that famous anyway....the repositories suck (Ubuntu is 80% Debian but most Debian packages cause errors during install)...the real Debian is unbeatable in stability and the repositories are awesome, only for total beginners it's maybe not the first choice because there are some differences from the other distros (apache configuration for example). and well, the driver implementation might be better in Etch (I'm downloading RC1 right now...eww, 3 DVDs!).

I end up with problems with package dependencies when I try to install from source. Other than that it was..... good to learn off of.
But I had Suse with kde before. Nothing new to learn there.
I only have fedora core 1 or 2. That's why I prefer to run the latest ubuntu. Untill I screwed things up.
Easy fix except i'm needing a new hdd.

I haven't had any problems with Ubuntu, it has been quite solid. I think it's poplur though bad_brain because of the community. You can ask a question and get help and a reply easily. Plus it tends to be bleeding edge and peeps now aday stuff like that floats their boats. I know it does mine. I can't wait for KDE4, but you prolly won't see that in Debian Stable for a long time But Ubuntu will have it after the next release in April which will be around Christmas I guess. I don't like SuSE at all. It takes forever to install. It's difficult to add repostories. If I were to suggest a noob distro I would suggest Mandrake because at least they have urpmi. On a side not. Knoppix has a games distro, and PC Linux has a games distro so you might want to check those out. I can get drivers up and running in Ubuntu easily by installing automatix. Thankfully my laptop uses open source intel drivers so I don't need to do any tinkering with my xorg.conf file
