With the number of linux distros on scene, it becomes difficult to choose a flavor for our needs. The most popular one by downloads doesn't mean best distro as far as our needs are concerned. Polishlinux.com provides a great page to help us in choosing and comparing linux distributions.

Although the page is bit old, but still very relevant, hope they are updating the features and information about distros.

You can choose from Ubuntu, PCLinuxOS, Mandriva, OpenSuse, Debian, Fedora, Slackware, Gentoo, MEPIS, Arch, PLD, KateOS, Yoper, Xandros, Pardus, Zenwalk, Freespire. Hope that is enough.
