Ubuntu 11.04

Unless you don't want to run a custom system or need any of these root-only features you shouldn't root.

If you don't understand what you are doing then you can easily brick your phone!

Ubuntu 10.10 killed my interest in Linux, until that error of a distro I was happily learning linux

That's the part of learning. Remove it and install 10.04

or simple wait for linux mint's new version to come out, and use that.

I support this I really enjoy using Mint  

Yup!  LM is the 4th most popular Linux Distro of all time (or so it has been reported to be true)

GNU/Linux is about choices. If you don't like Ubuntu try Linux Mint, if you don't like Linux Mint try OpenSuse, if you don't like OpenSuse try Arch Linux ...

I don't think it's dead. It will get a great boost as soon as devices are sold with chrome os!

I voted for using XP because of low system ressources.

I don't need Windows anymore for my daily work. I just use Windows 7 to play a Windows only game, that doesn't run with Wine every other week.

But somethimes I do need Windows to do a little work, mostly when I get Photoshop files that don't work with Gimp. I compared Windows XP and Windows 7 in VirtualBox and Windows XP needs far less ressources and Windows 7 has not a single feature that I improves my work experience! Everything runs slower compared to XP!

So that might be the reason why most people still use XP: They don't need the features of Windows 7 and their computers might be old but working with XP! For Windows 7 they would have to upgrade their hardware but they don't want that!
In fact the number of 66% might be to low, I know many people who buy a computer with Windows 7 and downgrade to XP!

The worst thing is missing... Flash!
