Ubuntu is certainly one of the best newbie-user-oriented Linux distros out there, but many Linux fans forget to point out that there are many other Ubuntu distributions to choose from.

So why not the original Ubuntu?

Sometimes people look for other versions of  Linux, which support RPM, for instance, or have a different philosophy, or were made for older workstations. Combining one of these features with the famous Ubuntu user-friendliness helps you find the Linux for you!

You probably expected I’ll name Ubuntu Studio, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Ubuntu Server Edition or Ubuntu mobile… but let’s find something a bit more interesting, shall we?

GNewSense – freedom for all! The GNewSense team rebranded Firefox to BurningDog, removed all the non-free packages and included Nethack. It’s the GNU Dream, Ubuntu style.

Ubuntu Satanic Edition – The Ubuntu Christian Edition wasn’t the only spin-off. Ubuntu Satanic is more of a series of themes which you can download onto another Ubuntu distro. It’s still cool, though.

OpenGEU – gOS guys, now you can finally let someone to who knows his Linux show you what the E17 desktop, a great looking desktop for low end computers (with a dock!) can do. It simply looks great.

ZeBuntu – It’s an Ubuntu distro which is supposed to support apps for BeOS. If you don’t know what BeOS is, go away -_- Now, you get the power of Linux and you’re free from Haiku OS!
