I'm wondering what distributions of Linux do you like most. Please make some comments on distribution you like so everybody will know its adventagies.

Gentoo -
A distro that's focussed on new technology and advanced users. If you know little or nothing about Linux, and you haven't the brains and patience to figure it out alone, then you shouldn't get anywhere near this one. If you do, however, than this distro offers you a wide spectrum of options, huge customisation, a 3-level installation procedure, a very solid packages system (emerge), and a great user assistance on the forums. They attempt to incorporate all the latest technologies, (also alpha & beta releases - at your own risk, of course) in their distros allowing you to benefit from a very broad spectrum of options.

I'd have to say my favorite distro of linux is by topologilinux or something like that its really simple to use and I love it lol but it doesn't work on my new computer.....only on my old one for some odd reason...And if you do download it I say you take the version right before there newest cuz thats hte one I liked most, but it's your choice

I've used quite a few.
I like RedHat/Mandrake for its easy to use features. Most recommended for naive users.
I like Slackware for its most hard to use features. If you really want to learn linux, I'd recommend slackware
I like Debian, for its security and uptodate features. I really love its aptget
And I like Suse for it widest collection of utilites

I gotta agree with Roberrtk on Mandrake and RedHat. They are excellent choices for anyone.

Debian is my choice for my linux machine. The installation is very customizable and liek Rob said has very up to date features.

I ahve heard lots of good about SuSe. However I've also heard that it is made rather hard for people to get it free. I guess you could say they are on the "gray area" concerning GPL.

i got mandrake 10.1 beta 2 and for the first time since i bought my laptop, i found a distribution that really uses my ati radeon 9600 mobility with 64mb dedicated memory . finally, i can play games! it's really easy, even my mom uses it for surfing & typing.

they have some kind of 'control pannel clone' too, so you can do a lot of settings through a visual interface if you're not that confident with shells...
great for beginner and still quite powerfull too!

recently sun came out with java desktop system 2... have pretty good reviews and really interest me cuz i'm a big fan of sun microsystem... thinking of moving to jds2 soon...

I like mandrake for its ease of use and really nice looking and customizable user interface.

I like redhat for its security and for its automatic update thing. It keeps it pretty much up to date with all the new features and security updates.

I use SuSE 9.1 personal and it's very powerful, but i suggest to you also Slackware 10(if you are not a Newbie ) and Debian

My Computing Hostory...
i got a ZX Sinclair spectrum.... great machine.. you could either program in interpreted basic... or program in machine code, and poke the machine code instructions into memory with interpreted basic... great !

then my needs increced.. i got an Amiga 1200 running workbench 3.1 GREAT os ! even bought a HUGE 500meg hard disk...

then, technoloy moved on, amiga died , i got a PC. windows 98... sucked, 2000, sucked, xp... sucked...

then Redhat 9... Great... then Fedora, then fedorea core 2.... now i was comfortable in linux i moved to a different DIstro.. Mandrake.. good, but too similar to redhat.. then i tried Slackware.. good... but the was just somthing about it thta made me uneasy.... i wanted to get deeper.. so i tried Linux From SCratch..... perfect.... well. almost.. i found myself reading makefiles to work out optional dependency's and what the thing would do with / without different progrms...

thenn i found... GENTOO !!!!!
AMASING !!!

what more can i say ?

bleeding edge software, the most up to date distro ever.. package management like no other system can provide.. lighting fast optimisation... perfect.
