linux noob, started on ubuntu, found it a bit messy and delicate. tried fedora 15, looks great (can't wait for gnome 3 to become stable) but seemed very unstable and delicate. Settled on linux mint 11....love it

Im not a proffesional just a simple end user, really glad I came over to linux, finding it to be a safe haven for computers with a great community, be proud of yourselves!
