Fedora. Currently on my Box. My main work unit however, is my Laptop now.

But Re: Linux Mint
It's really nice and I have tried it 5, 6, and 7. But only out of interest and experimentation. I have to say, for me at least, it worked perfectly. And as per @ken_yap I agree it's ideal for newbies. Multi-media just works Out of the Box.

Having said that, for me, openSUSE just works too. And suits my user experience much better.
