My personal opinion has always been: while ( !satisfied ) { choose_a_distro(); if ( install_distro() == CANNOT_INSTALL ) continue; if ( play_with_distro() == A_PERFECT_MATCH ) satisfied = true; } There is no way anybody can decide which distro is best for them based solely on other people's recommendations.
