My Kubuntu 7.10 (64 bit) died a few weeks ago and this gave me the perfect opportunity to try out Mint, and I am very impressed with it. I've never got to grips with Ubuntu, but I am loving this, everything works perfectly, even things that didn't work under Ubuntu  Mint for me as well. Easy to use and everyhting I've tried so far has just worked. Much faster than XP Home as well.

Ubuntu does seem quite nice, but I use programs from both the Gnome and KDE groups, but trying to install KDE on Ubuntu, or Gnome on Kubuntu became so complex, I gave it up and opted for a distro that had them both by default. I used to use SUSE 10.2 and SLED 10 at work, and Mandriva Spring 2007 at home, but Mandriva didn't recognise my SCSI hard drive, so I plumped for Fedora 7 instead, and it's been great.
My only real bugbear (apart from the obvious hardware peripherals issues!) is that I can't install iTunes or Flash CS3 (Flash MX and Flash 8 are working fine though)
Well, thats my two-pence...

I voted other.
Xubuntu 7.10 64-bit on my desktop PC.
Zenwalk 4.8 on my P3 laptop.
It has to be Xfce for me, Gnome too bloaty and KDE too fiddly.

I started out on Kubuntu but i've used Ubuntu for quite a while now. I find the Gnome desktop environment much more attractive, easier to use for any level of experience, and not as crash happy as KDE. I'd change my vote but i can't. Maybe a reset is in order to purge all the old votes that have changed since.
