If your feet smell, fuck you. Otherwise have at it.

Sorry, ran out that same day.

I used Ubuntu. It was really a terrible experience overall - lot's of learning new terms (fucking tarball) and figuring out how to work with unix shell and package managers. Maybe things have improved. I hope so - they certainly need to if Linux ever wants to be a good default for most consumers.
