Question #78004 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78004

Tom proposed the following answer:
Mandriva is beautiful and well worth trying
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mandriva
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora

There's also openSUSE, CentOS and others
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=opensuse
http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=centos

Did you install Ubuntu as part of a dual-boot system?  If so then you
already know enough to explore adding one of the above, or perhaps a
different version of linux (we call them distros, short for
"distributions").  Quite a few people have a multi-boot system with 1 or
2 distros and a version of Windows so that they can choose which they
want to boot into when they switch their machine on.  The command-line
and a lot of the commands are exactly the same in almost all the
different distros and often the desktop gui has many similarities too -
until you customise it ;)

It seems that Sam, ActionParsnip, Marcobra and others did a lot more
work in this thread and i was glad to find it because i was completely
stuck in the other thread and this one seemed to have a lot more proper
linux knowledge in the answers :)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
