Stop listing Linux Distros!it's only about the code they include and the scripts for their installers etc it's the Linux kernel that does all the support and all that jazz. Mint has a highly customized interface/installer etc and ships ready for propitiatory drivers. That's no reason to say it's better than any other because it only takes a minute to install them. Ubuntu is lamer than OSX so stop using it, it's Linux for people that want to use Linux but don't understand Linux. Redhat is for corporate snobs and IT managers that are too scared to use Linux without a big fat support contract.
If you're using Ubuntu, switch to Debian. Ubuntu is just a re-badged Debian with additonal packages, they take the skill and hard work of people working on serious distro, stick a bunch of idiot friendly wizards over the top then install their own pig-awful desktop. (Android anybody?) Even better switch to Arch, compile *everything* fully optimized for your hardware without using slower, generic kernel/binaries etc or use 'Scientifc Linux' and pretend you work at Cern! or you can use SuSE which is Redhat for Germans that wink at each other in chat rooms and throw veiled insults at non-germans that dare try and interact with them on a technical level.
Anyway, we all know that Slackware is the best.
