Shadowlock asked:

I’m about to get Linux but I’m not sure which distribution I should get. It’ll be for my personal use, not commercial. I’ve been looking at Debian and Ubuntu because I’ve heard a lot about them. So which one should I get?

Newton C asked:

Please read the following first.

I don’t want a distribution that installs things like Flash or Skype on my computer.

I don’t want a distribution which ships with a bunch of proprietary applications like Adobe Acrobat.

I want a distribution that is easy to install new software.

I want a distribution which encourages people to alter and improve the software.

I want a distribution which does not distribute proprietary software.

So far I have tried Ubuntu, Xandros, Debian and OpenSuse. I have not been impressed with any of them. Please do not recommend these.
