"'Arm yourself with the information needed before telling someone to install such and such distro because it's great,' warned blogger Ken Starks in his recent FOSS Force post. 'It might be great for you, but maybe not so much with my hardware choices.'
What considerations do SoylentNews readers have when recommending an OS? What OS do you recommend the most or least? How far would you go to 'tailor' a Linux distro to a potential adopter before recommending something that will work out of the box but lack non-essential features?"

Windows 7 Ultimate and just use the daz crack on my digital life forums. Windows 7 has the best graphics driver support for most modern hardware. Crack after all updates including the check for hacks. Install. Do all updates checking the unchecked one, reboot, run windows loader. Bam.
I say Windows 7 ultimate. Every time they get a virus.... Ask them to buy you pizza :-)

if you're only charging a pizza for virus removal/resoftwaring you're really underselling yourself. I would probably ask for 3, delivered.
