Which K/X/Ubuntu derivatives "of the ones listed" do you like the best?

I have personally used Uberyl, Linux Mint(e17 edition), Mepis, and X-Evian. I am downloading now the DVD release of FrogLinux.

Of the ones I have used I was most impressed with Uberyl which has "Compiz Fusion" installed by default and includes e17 as an alternate DE.

I will hold off on voting which one I like the best until I have tested each one listed.

Uberyl (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://pollolinux.blogia.com/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=2&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DUberyl%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DTiz)
Linux Mint (http://linuxmint.com/)
gNewSense (http://www.gnewsense.org/)
Mepis (http://www.mepis.org/)
FrogLinux (http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://www.froglinux.com/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DFrogLinux%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D)

Ichthux (http://www.ichthux.com/)-Ichthux is aimed at Christian users, based on Kubuntu. The name Ichthux comes from the Greek word ichthus, which means fish.

Apart from fluxbuntu (and possibly, Ubuntu Studio) I would certaintly give Uberyl a vote.

But the real revelation is that link for Froglinux! Google's automatic translation into English is awesome! It cracked me up and I found this quote from a course description:


Can data, my love, I lose you? Not, you are protected

I mean, that could be from a lost work of Shakespeare!

Can data, my love, I lose you?
Not, you are protected.
Ever recoverable and writ in stone
For returnest I on the morrow,
All data sweet restor'd shall be
No fragments or corruption
shall darken the sweetness of thy integrity.

From "Hamlet Balboa IV - Beyond Thunderdome"

Classic!...FrogLinux seems pretty cool, I'm going to burn the DVD and try it out Live.

Interesting to see Uberyl tied for second place with Mepis.

OK I have booted the Live DVD of FrogLinux and I have to say FrogLinux is pretty awesome. :)

unfortunately the installer appears to crash for some reason?
