I've tried several versions of Linux while "jumping out of windows--cold turkey". Even took a long hard look at freebsd. Played with Knoppix (too much unnecessary junk, hit & miss package handling). Used Mandrake for six months--it's not bad, but their proprietary RPM system is not apt-get. The fact that you almost have to join their club to get Mandrake rpm's makes them the more expensive than Microsoft for a home/small office user!
Mepis is BY FAR the best solution going! Everything you need on ONE CD--not 7 like Woody or 3 like most other distro's. A better mix of software than I've seen on ANY other distro.
Mepis is today what Sid will be in 3-5 years--if they're lucky--VERY lucky!
