OK folks, I just wanted to know how many of you like the following Popular Linux Distros, The rules are

You must have used these Distros to vote here
If you dont know what Linux is DO NOT REPLY to this thread
In your reply you must state why you liked the voted distribution
Note that i have not included Mandriva Linux because i think it is too bloated and extremely slow so its out of the list.

After testing a lot of distributions for a long time...i have settled with Sabayon Linux, because its Fast (but i have seen faster distros), it has all the necessary software i need day to day (proprietary Video and audio playback), it's hardware detection is flawless and recognized all my hardware whithout any porblems, It contains both ATI catalsit and Nvidia Drivers and automaticaly configures them, it supports my Display resoulution properly, and it looks fantastic.

I would also like to mention LinuxMint, it is a awesome Distro, no nonesense extremely fast, looks extremely good, actualy the only drawback i had was, i couldnt install the Nvidia driver on it no matter what i tried, they will fix it in the next release so, i might try this Distro again very soon and it might replace sabayon, till then sabayon it is.

There lots of Linux Distros have Relesed... From those i Like Ubuntu Most.. But Fedora is also Nice and Very Popular...
But i think You have missed most popular distros (CentOS, Knoppix, Mandriva, Red Hat Enterprise Linux... etc)

Konppix is a live CD and its not very good for day today desktop use
Iwe already stated why i haven't included Mandriva read the post again
CentOS is for file servers and web servers mostly
Red Hat enterprise is again not for desktop use

this poll is about desktop linux distros
