This article might help you to decide what is the best linux distro for you

my preference is fedora
tried ubuntu, backtrack
still cannot stick long with linux though
due to the suxkness of my uni connection

As I know Zorin OS is user friendly but is it well support with hardware driver.. for my lappy Compaq presario CQ40 I cant find wifi driver in Ubuntu.. sad max..

Not the type that usually recommends distros, since I'm more of a rolling-release D.I.Y type, but here are a few notable new releases that I find interesting

New Stable GRML release
My current fave Debian-based distro.
As light as Arch (lighter in some cases), blazing quick, file-rc (no symlink hell like vanilla Debian's sysv-rc), Zsh as default shell, apt-fast included by default..... etc

Salix Ratpoison 13.37 beta1
Slackware based with one of the all-time great window managers. Nothing says, "F*ck Touchpads!!" quite like the mighty Ratpoison.
Pretty light, fast and great dev behind the project. Still beta though.

Zenix OS
Also Debian-based.
Very CrunchBang-like. Includes OpenBox and AwesomeWM. Some of the nicest wallpapers I've seen in a distro.

^Is there any way to get the wallpapers of Zenix OS without downloading the OS ? >_<

Hmm ... if you're on Debian, I suppose you could try this .deb
https://launchpad.net/~zenix-shravaka/+arch...5zenix1_all.deb

Found it on the Zenix PPA, btw. I claim no responsibility.
https://launchpad.net/~zenix-shravaka/+archive/ppa/+packages

Other than that, I suppose you could e-mail the dev or post in his blog.

Here's one of the walls I got from an acquaintance that uses Zenix

Arch Linux ftw

fixed.

Oh God, you've become an Archtard now. The symptoms are already showing.

1. You start mentioning Arch in various threads even though the topic has nothing to do with it.
2. You start going "Arch FTW, Arch is God, Arch is my soulmate", blah-blah every 5 minutes.
3. You start competing with Mac fanboys in forum trolling competitions, and often beating them on the level on sheer IP (irritant points)

Hey guys , I am currently having Ubuntu 11.04 in my lappy and I feels like alot of apps doesnt support this OS. So I decided to convert back to 10.04 LTS.

I visit the site http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ . Wondering which one shud I choose. My lappy is Compaq Presario CQ40-420AU AMD TurionX2 64 proc.. Shud I choose AMD 64 or Intel x86 for better performance ?

My friend all recommend Backtrack 5. What is good in Backtrack 5 and does it as "light" as Ubuntu ?

Hello guys!

I am currently using WindowsXP on my Asus EeePC 1000H,
and I would like to take the first step to explore Linux OS and install it in my netbook!

Can you guys help recommend me a Linux Distro for my Asus EeePC 1000H?

There are some features that I hope the Distro can provide :
1. Speed (as I am using a Netbook, I need as much performance as I can get)
2. Customizability (or.. is this feature widely available for all linux distros?)
3. Applications (I need games and video editor, but then again, are all applications the same/usable across all distros?)
4. Compatibility, with netbook's hardware (Asus EeePC 1000H)

Do recommend me a suitable Linux Distro! Thanks!
and if I am posting in the wrong thread, do let me know.

Ubuntu
