    I've played with Ubuntu from 8.04 absolutely love it, I've also used Mint which is essentially Kubuntu with a shell if i'm not mistaken! I've also tried the Beta version of 11.04 but from what I saw I wasn't too impressed with the way it looked so I've down graded back to 10.10 and installed Macbuntu over the top of it-

    I haven't read all the replies but just leaving my opinion as I use Ububu as it is the one used at my university.

    Ps: the new Gnome 2 of Ubuntu looks quite nice.

    ive just started using ubuntu 11.04, i started with ubuntu 8.04,
    11.04 was doing my head in the first day i installed it, or should i say the unity desktop was, but i persevered and know i am starting to get used to it, its so easy to install new software and navigate to your favourite files and folders, i think i am now a fan

    got 11.04 on wifes old toshiba laptop the difference in speed is quite noticeable and system is quite user friendly not at all what i expected pretty stable when first loaded, would recommend on any system that was struggling on windows or just give it a try anyway and see what you are missing, "after all it is free".

    I had to install OpenSuse on old laptop to use for company program which can only use v10.1. Took a while to get it to work because downloading from website was making bad cds. But I managed to find a forum where someone suggested dl from torrent, so I did that and hey! The install was simple. There are five cds for v10.1 but I found a working DVD version which was much easier to use.

    As far as i know Fedora 15 is the most recent stable release.
    As for what i recomend is all Linux distrobutions. You will eventually try alot of them out anyways. I went from Fedora to Ubuntu to Debian to Arch to Slackware and eventually to Gentoo.
