Ubuntu is the best, but I also dual boot with PCLinuxOS. What is your criteria for other distros? Gnome/KDE, DEB/RPM., new machine/old machine?

How about looking in our own Other OS Talk (http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=147) section of the forums. I'm sure someone must have some distro ideas for you to try in there.

:cool:

Anything, really. I prefer one disk installations, though.

There are hundreds of distros, so just to suggest one for you would be hard. Do some reading about the top 10-20 on distrowatch. That is usually a good way to see what is popular. There are lots of ways to learn more about different distros on that website, just look around.

Top 10 on Distrowatch is basically the best place to start unless you're really going for fringe (which you might be if you've tried 50 distros). Although I think them separating Kubuntu and Ubuntu is ridiculous if they're still doing that...

I like Debian, though Fedora 7 came out today I think, looks interesting.

Though if you've tried 50, you've probably tried them.
