Good Linux Distros

[cfillion]

I currently run openSUSE and Fedora. They are both very good distros:

• openSUSE is very easy to configure (with YaST, an all-in-one exclusive configuration software). ++
  
• Fedora is very great, but it can be hard to install proprietary software (like flash). -
  
• Fedora has almost always the latest version of all open-source software. +
  
• Fedora is more hard to configure than openSUSE. -

If you are newbie, I recommend you openSUSE.
(I find Ubuntu very unstable.)

The best way to choose a Linux distro is to try several and choose the one that best suits your tastes.
You can use virtualization software like VirtualBox if you want to test an OS without break your current system.
