No, they really don't. Make any sort of argument you want, I can refute it.

And considering he managed to mis-spell 'budget' in two different ways in one post, I wouldn't take advice from him.

I am referring to linux distrobutions, not OS's. It would be a waste of a partition to put more than one. Take one, put what you want on it, the end. I highly recommend ubuntu if your new to linux.

The only read advantage that can be attributed to one distro from another is the packaging system (apt-get is the overwhelming favorite) and the community (debian and ubuntu are overwhelmingly the favorite, though i am quite fond of slackware). Whatever packages you want can be used on any linux distribution by some means.
