I'm not sure if this topic will survive the no flamewars rule.
I hope it does, thanks for doing this Milhan. There is a bewildering choice of distros out there and for relatively inexperienced users like me it's really helpful to know the merits and pitfalls of each. My thoughts were that people typically stick with what works best for them so seeing how many people use each type could narrow down the number of distros to try out.
Surely people on here are a little more mature than to flame other peoples choices aren't they?[

But in case it does, my choice is Arch Linux. I like it because it is lightweight and fast. The base system is very small and you add to it just what you want. Archlinux with XFCE desktop on my old PII-350mhz with 256MB ram was faster than my Athlon XP1600+ with 3/4 gig of ran.
You see! Post one and I've a possible recommendation for the 8 X PII-450Mhz Dells I've sitting in my cupboard, and one I've never even heard of.
Thanks,
Mark.
PS. If this thread does get chopped I hope the mods don't blame Milhan, it was as a rsult of my request he did this.
