Linux has always intrigued me and I have tried many distros.

Intrigued? In what way?

I now have a computer with eSATA. I had a spare hard disk and eSata
enclosure.

To pass my time I tried Linux again tonight.

I tried Ubuntu, Mint gnome and Mint debian based.

Honestly Linux missed the boat just as IBM missed the boat with OS2.

In what way? Were you expecting it to be more like Windows this time
around? From your previous experience with Linux, you should have known
that would not be the case.

I am firmlly entrenched in windows 7 at home and xp at my office.

"Use what works best for you" has always been my advice when people ask
me which OS is "best."
