Really depends if you're looking for something specific from a new distro or not... If not, just pick one and try, if you are then specify and we'll see what might fit you use case...

I used to use redhat or fedora. Ubuntu based is better in my own opinion. I quite like mint.

Please note the above is my opinion based on my own experiences. I'm not trying to start a flame war.

I've used ubuntu too. Then one of my friends suggested to me the debian. I love it. Faster, lighter and run perfectly even on my old, weak notebook.

@neumann I would point you towards either vanilla Debian or Arch then: both take more setting up than you're probably used to (Arch the most), but if you want something light I think they're good ways to go.

I've been around a few the past couple of years, just settled on xubuntu. Don't need much from a desktop pov, trying to spend more time in the command line. Its my primary os now in a virtual machine on top of windows 7.
