okay, umm what is the most powerful/full featured(i mean goodies and stuff, GUI's too) linux distro...

"goodies" if you mean the most bloated.. (why????) then anythign running the latest version of kde will fit the bill... suse 9.2, mandrake 10.1, unbuntu 1.4...

distributions don't generally have full features.. it's the software in it that provides that, and those thing will run on any distribution mostly.

If you really feel like you need an overly bloated distro, give SuSE or Mandrake a try as they are both loaded with a lot of stuff to fill up your hard drive and memory.

As for 'most powerful', under the hood, linux is linux.
Any distro can be made what you want. If there's something you want, you download and install it. You can start with any distro and happily fill up your hard drive with all the 'goodies' you want. Personally, I prefer lean and fast to useless 'goodies'.

mepis definitely. the most bloat on one cd :-)

its "bloated" with features. stuff like java, media players, P2P programs, office programs, everything one needs for a desktop, and nothing else. when i used ProMepis, i went 2 months before i downloaded anything i wanted, and that was only a video editor, something not everyone needs.
