Classifying Linux Distributions

"Linux for the newbies

"This are distributions for newbies, or Linux newcomers as well as for users who do not have too much time to tweak and configure their PCs.

* Ubuntu Maybe the most famous Linux distribution, and usually the first one any newcomer sees.
* Mint Linux Mint, gained a lot of popularity, it is based on Ubuntu, but it comes with support for mp3 and flash and other stuff Ubuntu does not support by default. I really do not understand why it isn't more famous than Ubuntu. Recently they released LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) a rolling release based on Debian, I think this will give Mint more exposure.
* PCLinuxOS This is another newbie oriented Linux distribution, more or less like Mint, it comes out of the box, with support for a lot of hardware, and plugins and coders for different media, so out of the box, you can start using it for almost any Desktop application."
