Find out what distribution suits your needs
Only to sad Mint is not included, but somehow both Freespire and Linspire is included? Anyway, I got OpenSuSE, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora (Strangely, the only one I have not tried of those is Debian..).

Well I have to question the validity of that exercise. They pulled Fedora first for me, which is the distro most likely never to see a hard drive near me. Mandriva, Ubuntu, Opensuse and Debian are all safe choices. Mandriva 2008 is very impressive, they seem to have turned a corner over there. One of only a small handfull of distros to boot on my geforce 7050 board, even Mint has to boot in safe graphics mode but installs perfect.

I find Mint similar to OpenSuSE GNOME, at some points (mintMenu and Control Center). Mint has just improved at some point, but still there are areas where I find OpenSuSE better..
But OpenSuSE lacks support for laptop LCD panels, so none of my laptops are able to adjust the brightness running OpenSuSE..

OpenSuse Gnome sounds interesting!!
I'll have to try it
