Name all the derivatives you know of in your favorite order. Please disclude any religious derivatives, or separate them from the normal list. Also if you would, name the description and maybe a link. Thanks!

Linux Mint - for beginners (as stated) as for people who need to actually do work with the computer other than IT or Linux related

Ubuntu Ultimate - good looking, sort of bloated, but it's good for a demo tour of what Ubuntu can do.

... and I'm not sure if SimplyMepis is an Ubuntu derivative but that goes great with older computers.
