Distributions

• - Ubuntu : The most known and possibly the mose used distribution. Excellent for desktops notebooks netbooks and the like
• - Debian : Very strong solid secure distribution
• - Redhat : can be used for desktop use but geared towards enterprise and comercial uses
• - Centos : community driven version of redhat
• - LinuxMint : Based on Debian but a much nicer front end and installer...my personal distribution of choice
• - Puppy Linux : Machines with very low resources will greatly benefit from this light weight distro
• - Knoppix : Is a live cd distrobution, great for overall use, traveling or rescueing a system from a crash
• - Slackware : The granddaddy of them all.....probably the oldest distrobution out there and still a nice solid platform

There are many more disributions out there but those above are the ones I have used tried or have interacted with.
