[Tutorial/Tour] How to pick your distribution. - TheBarret - Jan 2, 2012
Came accros this simple but effective script/website where you take a small tour to determine what kind of distro suits your preferences.
Goto: http://www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/index.php?select_lang=true
These are easy qeustions, on the end you can see which one is best for you.
For all the ppl that make threads on "wich and what distro shall i pick" please take this tour!
Little chart of what major route the distro came trough

Thanks, I have been wondering what i should get kinda new to this OS but I like It.

I took the test and its really great, i always liked open suse and it is in the results :). I also got ubuntu, kubuntu, mandriva and linux mint
* - Ɓaldy - Jan 2, 2012
I got
Linux mint 100%
Ubuntu 100%
Mandriva 100% not sure what this is
OpenSuSE 100% Don't know what this is either
95%
Kubuntu
Fedora
Have heard about these both but don't really know much about them.
Looks like a good site with potential to give users a good idea on what operating system suits them the most.

Likewise.
There's a thread from awhile back with the same quiz in it.
* - TheBarret - Jan 13, 2012
I think they updated the distro list, some said it updated with the famous "bt5" (or likewise distro's) wich isnt true i think.
