I have been using Ubuntu for some time now and very hapy with it, however I have another PC i use for testing so looking to stick another Distro on it but I have tried most of the distros available and want to try something completly new and different.

Any suggestions it would have to run on a 800mhz or my 1.6ghz PC but speed is not too much of an issue.

Vista :lol:
Just kidding... :) Try Slackware, openSuSE, RedHat. They are different :popcorn:

Have you tried Gentoo? I have been using it for about a week, and I am loving it. Had my struggles at first, but I am up and running, and it is beautiful.

Install Blag. Richard Stallman recommends it!

Klikit is about to release a stable version and with it a bleeding edge version.

Hmm, Arch or Slackware. Good to learn more of command line.

OpenSUSE is very, very nice.
