I guess thats the only thing, your system would run

I like most Debian-based distros. They are fast and very simple under the hood. Right now, I'm test-driving Overclockix. It's pretty sweet. Comes with Fold@Home, overclocking tools, burn-in tools, slick system monitoring tools, custom tweaked versions of KDE & Gnome with full transparency on just about everything. It's a live distro, but you can install it to disk using Knoppix-style installation scripts. In that case, it's a nice roll-out of a standard Debian system, which uses apt-get and .deb packaging. Nice!

There are way too many distros to look at

You're right, there are a lot of distros out there. If you ask me though, Linux is Linux, since you can set up any distro to be like anything you want.

The trick is to find one that's made by people with a similar vision for what Linux should be like. In that case it takes little or no effort to get it exactly how you prefer it. For me, a former NT admin, I feel very much at home in Mandrake and Suse. However, the more I use Linux the more I appreciate the differences between Windows and Linux/Unix/BSD.

...even the *gasp!* command line.

I am personally convinced that in many ways, Linux is the superior of Windows. But, in the end, it's just an OS. It's just an appliance which performs a set of functions, nothing more. :p
