I third Ubuntu. Apart from being a solid distro at present, it's future potential is exciting. If you guys don't know, recently Dell decided to pre-install Ubuntu on their select laptop and desktop models. Also, Cannoncal, which leads Ubuntu development, partnered with IBM to develop Ubuntu for mobile devices. Currently, Ubuntu is the number one distro and has a great community support, both in quantity and quality. Btw, don't forget to try KDE, when you install Ubuntu or you can install Kubuntu and try GNOME. For those who don't know, KDE and GNOME are two popular desktop environments used in linux. Choice of which is good depends on individuals. So, better try both and settle for one. I prefer KDE( and hence, my OS is Kubuntu). Good Luck!. And, one more point, for those who are in Nepal, especially the people who know they are using pirated OSS, why don't you try Ubuntu (or, any other free OSS). It's FREE, OPEN SOURCE, and WORKS FOR MOST PEOPLE. IT ROCKS FOR ME. Promoting free open source software can be beneficial to Nepal's cause.
