This distro or that, this window manager or that (gnome, unity, xfce, KDE...) they all have their strengths and weaknesses, their own quirks. The nice thing is, with an 4GB thumb drive, a broadband internet connection, and an afternoon, you can try out several and see which strikes your fancy.
Thanks for the post.
Have been using some form of Linux since 1994-1995.
Started with UMSDOS version of slackware.
Migrated to Mandrake and used Redhat for a number of years. But I became unhappy with the software bloat under Gnome & Unity. Then I discovered XFCE and applied that on RedHat 8.0
WOW what a difference.
My last install was Xubuntu, which has XFCE as the native Window Manager. I like it, but am always interested in something better. I got caught in an upgrade problem and will in the future re-install the OS on this computer. Do you have any advice for an improved OS that uses a light Window Manager like XFCE?
Excellent timing. I need a new distro. The Ubuntu I’m running now on my secondary machine is a pain and my main machine is running Win7 and is ready for retirement - and I AIN’T going to Win8. I’ve used SUSE in the past and found it wanting though their current graphic looks interesting ;-)...
Ping for later
Thanks for posting.

OK, so which one should I use? :-)
I’m a former unix admin, so none of them scare me. However, I use a Win7 system due to software. I LIKE Office and windows gaming....
Is there a decent emulator available for those progs that are not Linux-native?

Bump
Cannot really disagree with this although I would like to know more about BSD and ReactOS and other operating systems
How in the world an article can list the "Top 10" Linux distros, without even a passing mention of RedHat or CentOS, is totally beyond me. RedHat has been the gold standard in Linux for over a decade if not two, it's the largest contributor to the Linux community, the first open source company to reach the billion-dollar mark, and its enterprise product line is second to none.
CentOS is RedHat Enterprise Linux, without the cost -- free as in beer as well as free as in speech. CentOS is used by individuals as well as companies all over the world, who want the best possible functionality and stability (RHEL), but are willing to forego paid support.
And Fedora (which gets a mid-list mention) is the cutting-edge, development-oriented branch sponsored by RedHat. It's not like Fedora exists in a vacuum -- but this article would lead one to believe that it does.
Can somebody explain to me how the two best pedigreed distros got left out of this list???
Bookmark, and thanks!
BTW, can someone explain to me how this website thinks people would pay this much for a USB stick? You can walk into some Walgreens and get more memory for $10 these days.
