Submission + - What are some good Linux distros?

Shooter28 writes: "I've been a Slashdot reader for sometime, but this is my first time posting. I used Unix in College 4 years ago, and I've recently left the military and have gotten back into the Software field. I'm currently looking for ideas on a Linux distro for home use. First I want to convert my laptop for general web use (using wireless internet) and some java programming. Later on I'd like to dual boot my windows desktop for general computing, and possibly gaming under wine. Eventually I want to teach myself some networking under Linux. All of the "best distro" lists I've found are outdated. I wanted to get the Slashdot communities feedback on the best distributions in terms of ease of install, learning curve, features, compatibility, and support. Thanks in advance for all of your help."
