Ubuntu is a free, open source operating system that starts with the breadth of Debian and adds regular releases (every six months), a clear focus on the user and usability (it should "Just Work", TM) and a commitment to security updates with 18 months of support for every release. Ubuntu ships with the latest Gnome release as well as a selection of server and desktop software that makes for a comfortable desktop experience off a single installation CD.
(This distribution also has a "Live CD" you can use to test the distribution before you install it)

Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 15490 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

I got Gentoo, Slackware, and Arch.
I'm using and loving Ubuntu atm :)
Orethrius:
Gentoo and Slackware here - sounds about right, considering I'm already specing out this laptop for compatibility.
pofnlice:
mines Ubunu 6.0.6 ltx
GenuineAdvantage:
My result is Fedora. I have it installed, but recently I've been using others more. The results said something about speed. What? Fedora is faster than Ubuntu, Debian and Mandriva??? Seems the same to me even on this old thing.
