I have decided to go on mission to try out every distro there is and see what its all about. I am on a 7 day challenge to get know a distro and learn as much as i can using it before i settle for my final distro, should be fun :D

If you have an old machine go for Mint Xfce

The file manager windows are much nicer and cleaner than MS Win7 with blue folder colours.
With the transparent taskbar gives you a little aero effect but only on the taskbar and start menu.
