Ubuntu Linux

Ubuntu Desktop I have tried several Linux distros over the years but Ubuntu really does look the coolest I have come across so far.

It installs easily, successfully detects hardware, and runs smoothly. There is a good support base and Python scripts such as EasyUbuntu greatly simplify the addition useful packages including multimedia like Flash and Video Codecs.

There is also a Live CD version too which is useful for trying Linux out and for testing how well your hardware is supported and it even looks cool too.
