Slackware: Evil trash for sadomasochist geeks 
Sun (not Linux, but hey): 'ZAPP!!' your 2 page email evaporates before
your eyes in less than a millisecond. GUI tools are a joke.
Red Hat:  Kitchen sink anyone?  Dependency hell. Ugly.
Fedora:  Loads of stuff did't work. Wasted 3 perfectly good CD's
Mepis: Works out of the box?  Not for me it dind't, no sound.
Mandrake: Cartoony stars..  Pengo & Friends. The Teletubbies would use
this one. At least the karaoke machine at a local bar runs reliably on
it. (seriously)
Linux TLE: Red Hat in Thai, and looks less disgusting. Otherwise similar
to Red Hat.
Damn Small Linux:  Someone forgot a window manager that doesn't suck.
Puppy Linux: Pretty nice for the size..  Persistance didn't work right
though. (Or, 'at all', rather.)

None of this is a flame, obviously, just objective personal
experience. :)  And uBuNtU rUlezzz :)
