Distributions I have tried

As a follow up to my last post I thought it would be interesting to post a list of distributions I have tried before settling with the Ubuntu project:

  • Damn Small Linux
  • Kubuntu
  • Xubuntu
  • Mandriva
  • OpenSuse
  • Dream Linux
  • Cent OS
  • Linux Mint
  • Puppy Linux
  • Fedora
  • PC-BSD

I would choose OpenSuse as my second option for a solid desktop experience.
