So I'll make another proposal - a synthesis of existing proposals.

A community wiki question, following the lead of 'What to do if my computer is infected by a virus or a malware?What to do if my computer is infected by a virus or a malware?'.

""" Which Linux Distribution should I use?

This question is coming back often, in slightly different forms, so this faq attempts to provide the composite answer.

I want to try Linux on my computer, which distribution should I use?

I have a current machine and want an easy to use distribution: links to answers - including Ubuntu :-)

I have a 2004 era machine (Pentium 4, 1GiB memory): links to answers

I have a 2000 era machine (Pentium 3, 256 MiB memory): links to answers

I want a distribution using cutting edge/bleeding edge programs: links to answers

As it is community wiki, feel free to edit this question to improve it as well.

"""

Each answer would be a single distribution, with minimum requirements, links to the distribution vendor, and any highlights. Historical version minimum requirements could be included, where the versions are still supported.
