Just writing a small list of my favorite linux distros. There are so many out there, but I have tried a lot, so here are my 10 findings:

Fedora: Fedora has a solid base, as well as many great features such as advanced firewall and pulse audio. It’s graphical side is beautiful, and is a great well rounded distro.
Opensuse: I like opensuse for it’s consistant design, and solid feature set. It has a very heavily customized kernal, so may not run fast on slow computers, but it is worth the sacrifice, as it provides a very proffesional distro.
puppy linux: I do not reccomend this as a full time os, as it is limited, but on a dual boot, puppy starts up at blinding speeds, and is lightning when it runs. For web browsing, email, and personel productivity, this is great. It would also be great on an old laptop, as it will revive any old hardware.

Gos: Gos is a commercial OS in the sense that it has partners that ship compuuters with it on, but the is free to download. This linux distro is very web based, and great for a laptop. Underneath the fast UI is a full featured linux distro with openoffice, and all the usual tools. GOS is based on ubuntu, so is stable fast.
Zenwalk is a programmers heaven. It has built in support for almost every language ever, and has lots of useful tools such as I.D.E’s and hex aditors. I have had problems on zenwalk in the past on the networking front, but I have some pretty strange PC’s, so I wasnt too suprised.
Ubuntu: The name ” Ubuntu” is starting to become the name for linux, and it is hardly suprising. ubuntu is a professional well built distro, with a regular 6 month release cycle, and security updates. It is very easy to use, and has many variants taking after it.
Xubuntu: One of the forementioned variants, this is ubuntu built for speed. Using the fast XFCE deesktop enviroment, and with many other tweaks, this is the full ubuntu slimmed down. Great for people with old computers, or speed freaks!
Slackware is the oldest linux distro, and has plenty to show for it’s years. Aimed at more advanced users, this distro doesn’t try and customize every thing. Instead, it tries to keep to the original source as much as possible, while remaining secure, and powerful. The result? A distro for: servers, desktop machines, and for anyone that needs a barebones OS.
Debian: Debian is simmilar to Slackware, as it is aimed at power users and administrators, but uses the DEB system instead of source code. This means that packages compile faster, and make the system easier to change. Ubuntu is a fork of debian, and after it’s success, maybe we should look at the roots.
PC linux: PC linux aims to be as user frienly as possible. It has wizards galore, and has an extreemly simple look to it. Do not be fooled by apperences however, as pc linux has a very powerful package managment system, making it veryy easy to customize. Ubuntu and PClinux are perfect for anyone starting linux.
So, there we are. My top 10 distros (In no particular order.)
