Yea Nihil has basically always tried stuff out I've told him to look at. When a version of Mandriva came out I liked, he grabbed it, same for most others.
If I were to make a list of what I recommend and what I think the general population should use, it wouldn't be long, it would be this:
SUSE
Slackware
Mandriva / Mageia
Debian
And if someone wanted more than just the usual:
Zeta. Because I miss BeOS.
ZenvenOS - Same reason.
FreeBSD
PC-BSD
ConsoleOne
MoonOS
Kongoni (Because it's Slackware with BSD stuff)
-----------------------------------------------------
There. Every distro of Linux and two BSDs, all of which I use personally. Or, have used and liked.
Last night I spent a few minutes setting up the Window Maker Themes I want.
As most people who use Window Maker here know, it's damn near impossibly to find Window Maker Themes that don't suck anymore.
I remember a while back, years ago, you could go to a web site and there were PAGES of Themes! I know! I had them!
Now? There's ONE ****ing PAGE and it SUCKS! The Themes are ****! So what did I do?
I grabbed my DVDs of my paid for versions of SUSE Linux, popped them into a machine, opened in a file manager, found the Window Maker ****, and I grabbed every Theme those paid Versions of SUSE Linux had, and I copied them ALL over.
I uploaded copies to my Server, then I made a Tarball and Compressed it, and uploaded that. Then I put them on USB Drives.
Then last night I ran tar xzvf on it and opened them up.
Then I ran tar xzvf on each Theme.
Then, I opened a File Manager to my home directorie's GNUstep folder on my FreeBSD box. Then I kept going inside to the Themes and Background's Directory. Once there, I stuck the "style" file in the Themes directory and rename it to whatever the Theme was named.
Afterwards, I right clicked in Window Maker and selected the Themes. I now have Window Maker Themes.

May I also add two distros that are a considerable choice for Mac/Win users. I, personally, as a long-time Windows user started with Linux Mint that has a Windows feel and it helped me transision to Linux for good. For Mac users, I suggest Elementary OS. It is really simillar and you probably won't see any difference.
