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 personally use Ubuntu, but i've heard good things about Mint.
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.
I like Ubuntu 10.10 myself
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
nush
I like Kiwi Linux
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.
Did you try Fedora 15 with new Gnome 3 ?
it's a great desktop version
I like F15
just try the live cd (no need to install)
What is the commonly used fedora version and latest version?
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.
yeah tried for a couple of weeks on a old pc ran like a dream tried to persuade a guy who was running win xp pro on a lappy very low spec to use would have none of it.ive found unlike windows linux speed is very consistant. got ubunto 10.04 running on wifes old tosh laptop for last six months never had to bother with since then,when ran windows was always tryin to find ways to speed ~~~~ing pc up.
