DistroWatch's main aim is to provide resources for people either having trouble picking a distro, or who want more information on a specific distro. I personally didn't use DistroWatch myself when picking out my first Linux distro- a friend suggested Ubuntu and I trusted him and went with it, and haven't looked back. Of course a lot of the time, im afraid to say; it comes down to trial and error, pick a distro you think will suit you, try it out and if you decide it isn't for you, move on. But I'm going to do a backflip here and also suggest you give it time, no distro is perfect for everyone under its default configuration. So play around with it and explore, you may surprise yourself!

Okay guys, Recently a friend asked me if I would be interested in contributing to a new website for Linux beginners. So over the past few months we have all been busy writing up some content, and I think its looking pretty decent.
The site is in Wiki format so you should be able to find what you're looking for pretty easily. The site is named "Linux Made Easy" and thats what we aim to do.
The site is Australian based, much like myself. So go check it out!

Also on a side note, I plan on doing a post related to choosing a distro soon, but if you are looking for details right now, check out DistroWatch.
