    Comments are closed on the "Linux Information Center" thread, So I'll make a new thread about this. Thanks to Gautam for the link.

    I just wanted to post that the Linux Distribution Test is amazing, it's more like a short survey and tells you what distros best matches your needs. They even show close matches and explain why it isn't a perfect match. They ask all the right questions.

    I think this is actually not just for Newbies, but can be used by people who been using Linux for awhile.

    My matches are in Pic below:

    Only the main forum sticky is closed, but all the guides/articles within it are OPEN for posting (except for any non-NBR links of course)

    My mistake .......Can you change the Title to "Linux Distribution Test" as I thought "Linux Distribution Guide (for the Newbie)" was the same link.

    Thanks.
