[PLUG] Distro suggestions

[Russell Senior]

My 2¢: Most of these have live-boot options, right?  Honestly, I'd download
and boot a few and see what you like.  Most of my desktops (which include
laptops) are you-dumb-too these days, which (when tweaked a little) feel
pretty comfortable to me. Tastes vary widely, so find what works for you.
