Still a worthy system for what I do, but I built it initially as a HTPC.
Xubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
A new version of Xubuntu is released every six months, every fourth of which is a Long Term Support release, meaning that you are eligible to security updates for three years as opposed to the not-too-shabby-either eighteen months that you get with the normal releases.

Tomorrow's an illusion and yesterday's a dream, today is a solution...
defining the main or most used in my house is impossible. I have 4 computers
online. 2 desk tops and 2 laptops.
Mine (this one) is the one i use for work and research , email and some chatting usually until mid afternoon. no idea how old it is (hp5713), i traded the entire system for a laptop about a year and a half ago.
My Wifes is her primary computer, an emachines desktop that we bought used for 75.00 again the entire system and a printer,about 2 and a half years ago. an EL1200 as i recall. It had win xp on it but wouldnt work. Barely booted. 225 viruses later it worked fine, install 10.10 and zorin and it hasnt stopped.
The one on my bench is a dell d800 i bought from a coworker of my wifes for 50.00 i use it for testing and file transfer stuff.
The last is an eee i bought in a pawn shop for my birthday 3 years ago its a 1005ha. used primarily in the afternoon and evening for chat, skype, or when i need to go mobile.
I guess there is no primary in my house. each has its own primary purpose and function, all run a flavor of ubuntu.
The only dumb question is the one not asked.
In service to the Dream
Five year old HP Compaq dc5750 small form factor desktop running Ubuntu 12.10.
I've had my desktop less than a year, but it was 3 1/2 years old when I got it. My "new" laptop (a Christmas gift to myself) is about the same age.

Actually, it was the laptop's keyboard controller that failed. The keyboard controller is part of the motherboard and not part of the keyboard that can be replaced. I had replaced the keyboard a year earlier. I probably could have used the laptop with a USB keyboard; however, what is the point of having something mobile if you have to carry a keyboard with you. Beside that, I was waiting for an excuse to get a new laptop.

Use whatever OS or desktop works for you. Dual boot or use VMs if you want. Backup your computer regularly, and definitely before upgrading, partitioning, or installing an OS.
