Help Choosing a Linux Distribution
Those interested in trying Linux have help in choosing which distribution to choose. The Linux Distribution Chooser is created to help newcomers choose which Linux is best for them. It will not tell you exactly which one to choose but it will give you some rough choices based on your answers to a brief questionaire.
After the short questionaire, a list of distributions is displayed ranked according to recommendations level. Rather than not listing the non-recommended distributions, they are listed with the reason why they may not be suitable so you can make the ultimate choice based on all the information presented.
While this site is lacking in questions during the questionaire, it does ask the essential ones and makes up for that lack completely with the presentation of the results. Linux is about freedom to use your computer the way you want and this site follows that theme by not holding back or hiding any information.
