I'm thinking of ditching Windows

as I build my next upgraded x86-bsed PC. So, I wanted to take a poll of the
group for a recommendation on which Linux distro to use. I downloaded Fedora
Core, Slackware, FreeBSD, Unbuntu and Linspire.
Any thoughts from the group?
Well, my first thought is "Why did you just ask for a *nux advocacy flamewar?"
My second thought is that you didn't provide enough information on what you are
doing with your Windows desktop that you want to keep doing under Linux. I
can't properly recommend a particular distribution until I know what it is you
do with your existing OS setup. You also didn't mention what your existing
*nix competency level was at. Provide information on those last two holes and
I'd be more than happy to give you some recommendations.
