It only depends on what you're looking to get from your OS.

your link is not working :-)


anyway...


if you are looking for a Windows replacement try ubuntu or pclinuxos
if you want to give life out of an old system try xubuntu or vectorLinux
Puppy Linux or Damn Small Linux if you are a minimalist


...in my opinion :-)

if you want to LEARN more out of Linux, I recommend Slackware and ofcourse, my OS which is debian GNU/Linux!

Choosing is a PERSONAL thing!

It merely depends on your NEEDS and LEVEL of Linux EXPERTISE.


There are large number of distributions to choose from and here's another guide...

I believe RobLinux, such a knowledgeable person, has an informative answer for you. He helped me once and I'm simply impressed with all of his posts!
