Best Linux OS

I know the Linux guru's think that Linux Mint is for lazy noobs and is a blemish on Linux because it is easy peasy...but ja...I love Linux Mint. It is easy...install and play :-) I am using Mint 13. Cant remember the Desktop version thingy now...mate or cinemon. Not sure.

Installed Mint for my wife, and she loves it. I also was amazed that everything was working straight after install. With my Fedora, I usually have to get the codex and everything installed and then I'm goin. Almost drop Fedora the other day for Mint, but got hold of Cinamon and now Fedora is more or less rocking again. But beeing a long time Fedora fan, I mus say, somethings off on fedora.

Good news on Fedora 18, they fixed a few issues I've been havin. Like no more onflicts between Yum and packet updater. Patiently waiting release.

you are clearly not understanding what different philosophies the different distros hold.

out of interest does ubuntu still start from debian sid and build from there?

I don't think so. Even the core LIBC library in Ubuntu 12.04 is newer than that in Debian testing (thats not even mentioning the kernel...). Most of Ubuntu is probably built by themselves nowadays, although I am sure if Debian does something, Ubuntu will probably look at porting it over to themselves.
 
Definitely Linux Mint 13 definitely gets my vote.

I've tried the development versions of elementary OS Luna and it looks 100 times improved from Jupiter...I think they have something good up their sleeves.

sid is unstable as the below shows

Yes. They take a snapshot of Sid. They have also synced to Testing (Wheezy) before. http://askubuntu.com/questions/1147/is-ubuntu-based-on-debian-unstable-or-debian-testing

thanks
 
I wont lie. Im quickly losing confidence in CentOS. Their **** way of dealing with Python annoys the crap outta me. I have to jump through hoops just to freeken install rdiff. Really now!? Debian ftw! I just wish they made cPanel for Debian :(
