Very nice guide, well done + rep. :D
A very nice list and good idea to people wanting to start using Linux.
Zen, Kubuntu.. Xubuntu
I'm just going to address the things which bugged me most:
Debian is fine for a desktop, workstation or server, because of the package life cycle. Stable branch, stable system. To be a little more updated with a desktop setup, testing branch. If you want to help fix bugs, there's the unstable branch. Also, its repositories have more software packages than any other distribution with over 18 thousand. A point which is nearly always mentioned in Debian's favor is its package management tool, APT, which makes installing software incredibly easy.
There are security flaws in all the distributions.
Since when the hell was FreeBSD based on RHEL? Besides FreeBSD being older than RHEL, it's BSD, not Linux. One of FreeBSD's problems is that it's not quite as cutting edge. There's less support for it than Linux. In any case, FreeBSD is more stable than Linux and runs about as effectively; hence why it's one of the most popular server operating systems.
Fedora 7 is out i use it ! =] it has a well nice loader =] add to the list =]. Why am i doing loads of =] i think ive gone =] crazy ahhh! nevermind.
There are lots of distributions, Whenever im looking for a new distro to try out I have a look at this :
