...now please explain about Gnome / KDE?
I think I read somewhere that one is "more like" Windows and the other closer to MacOS but I'm not sure if you can take that too seriously. What are the pros/cons of the two major desktops and are there any other worthwhile contenders?

What Desktop do you prefer?
KDE is more like Windows while Gnome is more a BSD/Apple Type Desktop, Unity is the default supplied by Ubuntu which has taken a lot of flack and then you have things like X Windows and so on.

HAL's description is accurate, but both can be customized. Mint even in the previous edition of Gnome was more Windows like than KDE.
No sir, Bleeding edge is Arch or Gentoo, period. Mainly because Fedora is NOT a rolling release, and packages get old during a release, by a few months that is.
I was going to link to it in this discussion, but my bookmark kicked back a 404. Does anyone else have working link to it?
For those who don't know, the Distro Chooser was a quiz. You answered a dozen or so general questions, and received a list of recommended distributions that would fit your profile.

They all use essentially the same method to find a distro: find out what you know about tech, what you know about Linux, whether you're willing to pay, what you're going to install it on, and what you want to use it for.
The Zegenie Studios LDC is the most involved, walking you through a series of questions. The desktop at home page is five list boxes and a Submit button.
And searching Google for 'linux distro chooser' returns about 76k hits.

MY choices for the best linux distro for servers are
1.CentOS
2.Redhat
3.openSUSE
4.Ubuntu
Every comparison can be criticised as each linux user has different opinions about the best linux distros.
