ubuntu
why? because i said so. ive been with mepis (every version) and until lately, ubuntu has been second on my list. with the new hoary release, and added wifi support, my wifi card works out of the box, all my hardware works out of the box, boot times are faster on ubuntu while mepis starts too many server apps. application choice is better on ubuntu. not as many apps, but its everything you need. mepis has everything you need in apps, plus a whole bunch you will never use.
its all about choice. you choose.

I went to Mepis simply because if recognised my laptop settings better than anything else I tried: installation was a breeze.
(my 2 cents worth)

I was on MEPIS, then tried kUbuntu and Ubuntu. All I got was blurred fonts, a terrible layout or skin and a mainly rough distro, besides being swarmed in their mailing list with problems and mostly, no video on news.bbs.co.uk
Wnet back to MEPIS (over Xandros) and is better off.

I started with "UBUNTU" and liked it a lot. The only reason I switched over to "MEPIS" is because I read it was very simple to learn and had wireless capabilities. I'm sure the other distro's have similar packages, but I found "MEPIS" to work right out of the box (so to speak). As others have replied, it's a personal preference in what distro you use but in my case (newbie), I found "MEPIS" very, very easy. I've been using the "live" version and I'm installing it once I get my USB ports working. Enjoy whichever you choose because as I have found out, there are many experienced linux people out there that are kind enough to help us.
