Ubuntu, because it's based on Debian and has a good support.

Fedora is bloated almost as bad as windows.

New people should be hitting ubuntu.

fedora has a bunch of useless daemons running in the default install (xinetd running by default = wtf) that are potential security risks. that and no new user should have to deal with rpm hell. ubuntu isn't perfect, but it's as close as it gets for new linux users in my experience.

Well, for me, the Ubuntu 6.xx installer hangs on my system with no error messages, both Fedora 7 and Ubuntu 7.04 have a horribly broken X on Intel G965 chips (Broken native mode setting and broken GL). Fedora Core 6 works just fine though, so I'm staying here for now. Yum works well, building stuff (including custom kernels) from source is a breeze unlike Mandrivel was, and no ports were open by default. Hopefully the Intel graphics driver devs will fix the 965 support for the next round of releases.

I don't consider myself a fanboy of any particular distro. I just use whichever works best for me at the time. I used to use Mandriva, but that really started to suck after the LE2005 release...

Ubuntu FTW unless for if you're going 64-bit, then you need to stay away from Debian. XD

Lol, Robin (Mooseberry). You have never attempted to install another OS on your "Sacred" AlienWare Laptop. I have even suggested to you to let me have an hour alone with it with which to install Vista, a more humane version of Windoze, compared to your "AlienWarified Windoze XP". Anyway, I've installed Ubuntu 7.04 (Fiesty) on my Intel iMac Successfully as well as Windoze XP + Vista.

Ubuntu 7.04 recognized my wireless card and graphics card immediately (insert sound card nightmare here), which is the best luck I've had so far with a distro, so it looks like I'm sticking with it for a while. Back when I was using Damn Small Linux I was looking at either migrating to Ubuntu or Fedora, the Ubuntu install was basicly the biggest factor for choosing it.

Why is Debian Unstable not an option? I even managed to install it on a tablet PC with working tablet and screen rotation and everything, love it!  :P
