Want to start with Linux...

PCLinuxOS is superior in most every way to Ubuntu.

Ok, I'll bite. In not so many words, how is PCLinuxOS superior to Ubuntu in many ways?

Compare the OS & forums for yourself. That's how I decided. And I did start with Ubuntu.

The very first time I tried Linux was Phatlinux.

http://phatlinux.com/

I was like WOOO COOL

After that I'm not sure what real distro I installed and used. It was either RH, Mandrake, or Suse.

I don't run Linux anymore, but I plan to get back into it, but I'll most likely run a bunch of them in VMware Workstation.

Imo running/installing Linux inside of M$ Windows defeats most of the benefits of running Linux natively. Namely security, stability & lower hardware requirements.

Ubuntu is the ugliest distro ever, I'm sick from their default desktop. Not that it's not easy to change:-).

I hate KDE! I much prefer Gnome, or even Xfce (currently running)

I'm sure that the thread owner is confused, he lost the way between all these opinions and recomendations. I'm just Linux begginer and I tried alot of distribuions but I was very comfort with PCLinuxOS it is very easy and fast too.
