PCLinuxOS vs Ubuntu
A vote
A popular haunt of mine - TuxMachines.org has been running a vote on your favourite early 2007 distro and at the time of writing there have been just under 1,000 votes cast by readers and three clear contenders.
Ubuntu
This plucky Gnome distro has been throwing it's weight around in recent times and weighs in at 25% of the votes. I believe they're measuring Kubuntu and all other flavours as one which will obviously help things. Famously popular is this distro.
PCLinuxOS
Impressively enough PCLOS also has 25% of the vote, proving what a popular distro it really is becoming. With a strong and supportive community behind it and some very strong Betas of the 2007 edition, this really could be a big year for it.
Other contenders
openSUSE comes in third with 17% which is little surprise, but what is shocking is how far back Mandriva and Gentoo are comparatively. I assumed these two were reasonably popular but it would appear that Ubuntu and PCLOS are the two biggest players in the Linux desktop wars.

Have a look at the vote here and see how things shift but I think this vote has highlighted that we may have a two horse race on our hands this year. It won't be a matter of winning or losing because any new user to Linux is a win (provided they stay). Vista has landed and it won't be too long before people consider their operating system needs - if they're coming to Linux it looks like most people will recommend Ubuntu or PCLOS.
