I'm fine with that. I wouldn't have really responded but I think it's good to show someone new to it that there is really no difference on which distro you use on your personal machines, as one that someone hates, may work great for them, and one that works great for me or you, may not work well for him at all.

On one of my machines for example, Debian and Ubuntu both work fine, yet on another they lag badly and SUSE actually works on it. I've been leaning more towards Slackware lately though.

Another thing I haven't seen brought up is Fedora. I'm not a huge fan of it as I wasn't really with RedHat either, but it does seem to have decent support on hardware.
