what the best linux os

Well each linux distribution is made for some purpose in mind. Servers : UBUNTU & REDHAT PC/Laptop : MEPIS, Suse, PClinuxOS Older PC : DamnSmallLinux

I would say the best yet so far would the Ubuntu and SUSE distro.

Try UBUNTU ULTIMATE EDITION! you don't install nothing, actually is defined the Windows vista enemy! See the website project: http://ubuntusoftware.info/ultimate/index.html

Linux From Scratch... Luv it!!!

if you're after a pure open source, community developed and maintained distro, with very little likelihood of forking the way fedora & RHEL did, or of the distro company getting bought or restructured like mandriva and corel, go for debian. push the envelope further and go for the real debian and not ubuntu and knoppix, which are simplified derivatives...

try with red hat linux or xandros

i am using openSuse 10.2, and i think this is the best one to use for desktop. easy of use and complete application distribution.

Mepis and PcLinuxOS is one of the best I've ever tried. With there plug 'n play ability, it is not that hard for a noob like me to shift immediately to Linux. In fact, you can customize your Linux to anyway you want, that's the beauty of Linux, you can have all what you are needed and trash all the unnecessary softs which you think it is just a junk.

I'm using RH,and I don't know which linux os distribution is the best,i think everyone has its special feature.
