I'm no expert but I predict:

- a few will say RedHat / Fedora worked fine for me and very stable /
supported (including me perhaps)
- at which point a million other people will diss it
- a few will say try lycoris (it's PRETTY!) or lindows or knoppix or
something, it's easy and YOU CAN RUN IT OFF A CD! (ok that is quite
clever actually).
- Mandrake won't get a mention or 'bloatware' might be uttered (not by me)
- some hardcore debian and suse fans will give their 2p
- FreeBSD might get a mention (ok it just has) even though I suppose
it's not linux.
- at least three of four people will try and 'convert' you to gentoo...
eg "join us... JOIN US.... OR SUFFER THE RPMs"

oh yeah try
