I've tried lots of Linux distro's in the last year and the one I keep on my PC is Freespire 2.
I'm a newbie to Linux and find that Freespire just Works!
Quick and easy to install. Fast to start up and not too resource hungry ( I've used it to breathe new life into an old Pentium III 866MHz PC ).
I find I can get everything working without having to tinker with command line stuff in a terminal. It detects Modem/router settings OK for easy Internet access. It works well with other ( Windows ) PC in a network. I can control it easily with VNC from another PC, play videos etc.
I've seen some criticisms of Freespire from some of the Linux purists, but I would recommend anyone to try it before judging.
