What is the best FREE Linux distribution on the web today?

Q. I wanna run Linux but there are SO MANY distributions out there it makes my head spin, which FREE one is the BEST?

A. There are a lot of good GNU/Linux distributions, depends what you want to do. if you want to your desktop, try Mandryba, Lycorix, Ubuntu (KUbuntu, Edubuntu), Gentoo... are the most frindly and easy to install.

How would you rate Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux based on their use today?
Q.

A. Based on what people use the most: First comes Windows, next comes Mac OS, and after that comes Linux.

Based on what I personally use: Linux comes first, Windows comes second, and Mac OS comes in third. Linux is first because it is fast, stable, secure, and there's tons of free, quality software for it (not to mention it is free too). Windows comes in second mostly because it is needed for some software to work... I usually just run Windows in a virtual machine on Linux in order to use the Windows software I need. Windows also comes in second because it's so prone to malware. Mac OS comes in last because the Mac hardware is so expensive - that's the only real problem I have with Mac OS other than the fact it's not very customizable.

is there more linux users than windows users today?
Q. or am i the black sheep who uses ubuntu linux?

A. Operating System Market Share. According to this Linux currently is in third place with 1.07% (The absolute number of Linux users worldwide is not known)
