Debian

The GNU/Linux distro for Open Source purists. It contains only software that is free as in speech and free as in beer. Takes more work to configure after install than Ubuntu but it also doesn't have any bugs or stability issues. It doesn't have the "bleeding edge" applications but it also doesn't crash and everything just works. Every time they release a new Ubuntu I get tempted and sometimes even install it on my desktop. But my media server stays in good ole Debian. Simply the best example of free software on the planet. Install Debian 5.0 "Lenny" today and you won't be sorry.
You're using Windows XP? No wonder your computer crashed and you lost all of your work. Switch to Debian and you won't be sorry.
