"And, what is good, and, what is not good?
Do we need another to tell us?"
-Socrates, to Phaedrus, in the dialogue "Phaedrus", by Plato

A question such as you have asked, is like kerosine to a flame war (the
flame war that may arise from the particular question). 

Each distribution has its audience, and, its set of supporters, depending
on what each individual wants.

The question should not be "what is the best?", but rather, "I have this
knowledge of Linux, and,I want Linux to do these things, so, which is
likely to be the most appropriate distribution, and, why?"

"So once you do know what the question actually is, you'll know what the
answer means."
 - Deep Thought, Chapter 28 of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
 - Douglas Adams, 1988
