Distro chooser


Here is a fun amusing way to find out which distro suits your needs. A small attempt to try and answer the big "Which Distro" question.

It's not really all that useful, most of the distro's it shows I don't even like at all, but I guess it's ok for n00bs. Advanced users will know what the want and will not need this.
I've recommended this site to some n00bs myself. It's better than if 50 user post their prefered distro's, right?

Yeah it is noobish but in the end people will choose what they want, after doing some more looking around I've seen this posted before just too bad I didn't see it sooner. Well at least someone made an effort to help others out, its still an amusing tool (if you will) I just found what I thought what was pretty cool and wanted to share it. It can be taken at face value or just for fun
