Which distro

So if anybody uses or has used linux, which distro(s) have you used?

Personally i've only used Ubuntu atm, I am looking for another distro atm, but not really sure which ones are good or bad.

I've tried Fedora, Ubuntu, and knoppix. I liked Ubuntu the most because it was easier to use and had a good forum for support.

Yeah, the forum for Ubuntu is excellent, theres so much support and pretty much any problem seems to be solved there. I've tried some different things with linux and messed up but i've been helped so much by the forums

I've tried Ubuntu as well, It took some getting use to, but I eventually switched back to windows because the lack of support for most of the programs I use. It was fast and all, I installed a beryl or something that made a cube. It was very complicated and I didn't see why I sould go through all the trouble to learn it when windows works fine for me.
