Distros

While I have tried numerous Linux distributions, I've had the most luck, and spent the most time, with Mandriva. Other distros I've tried include SUSE 10.1, KUbuntu 7.1 and PCLinuxOS 2007 (Mandriva based). I've also spent quite a bit of time with the GeeXboX multimedia distribution.

Distro CD's and DVD's

While downloading from mirrors, or via BitTorrent, is what I usually do, buying a CD/DVD may be more convenient and doesn't have to cost much. A few possibilities are:

   OSDisc.com
   LinuxCollections.com
   eBay (OS : Linux, lowest shipped price first)

PCLinuxOS
PCLinuxOS AKA PCLOS. I've got 2007 on one of my PC's. I like it better than its parent, Mandriva. Simple logistics (a Mandriva desktop that is currently handing most server tasks, i.e. needs to be up 24/7) have it on the back burner... That was some time ago. These days everything is running some flavor of PCLOS (MiniMe, LXDE, etc.)
