Having used one installation of PCLOS for over a year, having never had a functional Ubuntu installation, I’m definitely biased. In my eyes, Gnome is really not the cats pajamas, and I can speak from my own experience since I used Gnome for years before Nautilus finally broke my ‘camels back’. My point is this for you, reader: be sure to familiarize yourself with the FUNCTIONAL differences between Gnome and KDE and other Window managers (or other Desktop managers). The differences can make or break a first time user experience.

NimbleX is about the lightest KDE live environment you can find. It is great. However, it is lacking of software. For a good balance of software selection and asthetics, I recommend Puppy Linux over the Linux distro that has been sent to Hell ;). Another interesting live CD is INX which is all terminal based, but is very user friendly.

Why does only one use Gnome by default? And what about Fedora 10, Linux Mint. or hell, openSuse?

I instaled Damn Small Linux at the office on a weak computer. At home I am using Ubuntu and Mandriva. Unfortunately Damn Small Linux does not have the options for the type of PPPoE connecton provided by RDS, our ISP, although it has a complex program for configuring PPPoE.

I use EasyBCD to dual (triple, quad…) boot. Just choose to install the linux grub bootloader in the same partition as the linux, reboot into your primary OS and add the new OS to the boot options in easyBCD
