I had to find something when IBM stopped supporting OS2 Warp. I hadn't used Windows and I didn't want to start so I first tried Slackware but couldn't get anywhere with it. Next I tried Mandrake and stayed with it until it became Mandriva. But I later found that updating Mandriva was difficult so I switched to Debian and I've been using it, and kubuntu, for several years.
