[PLUG] Distro suggestions

[Nat Taylor]

I would recommend Ubuntu over Mint due to ease of updating.  Mint distro
updates are more of a pain in the ass, in my opinion
Ubuntu is easy and it works.  It has the Gnome Desktop now, but it looks
like Unity.  I actually prefer Kubuntu personally.
Debian KDE is another option.
