please post your question ONCE in the correct forum

it is all preference. like do you want a gnome environment, xfce environment, the K desktop environment (kde)


xfce would be the fastest of those environments, gnome close behind it, kde Extreem graphix but i think crashes easiely.

do you want the most buitiful or the fastest.

also you might want hardware detection like Ubuntu . they have live cd's for all of those i think. i don't know but i do know that they have one for gnome. and alos ubuntu is the most user friendly. if you want to see crap graphix untill you fix it in gnome get the gentoo live cd. i don't know if the new one has better graphix but i used the old one for testing purpases. knoppix is great except for if you like it you can't install it. so it is all preference. you can make gnome just as "pretty" as kde. you can also make all the desktop environments look like windows or mac. gnome and xfce are the closest to widows. kde looks a lot like a mac because it has a big bar at the bottom that you can make dissappear and become transparent, with ease. kde is the most customable but i still prefer gnome. so you can make your own decisions but i would recomend the ubuntu live cd. anymore questions just ask.

Cheers.
