I would like to start off by saying that I only started exploring Linux
recently.
Well, I would like to promote a not-so-popular distro- elementary OS. It's
based off Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Instead of me personally telling you why it could be the next big thing,
why not read it some reviews?

Do give it a try and let me know what you think!

Well, to start off to dispel your ignorance, Ubuntu is not elementary.
If you want elementary, look at LFS (Linux from scratch).
And don't try to pontificate and insult the intelligence of the
erudite and experienced existing users of this list.

You're the one being ignorant here. Elementary is the name of the distro.
My bad for not capitalizing the E but you would've known this had you
actually read the whole thing and visited the official site first.
Stop bashing newbies and start reading properly.

Not my fault if you can't understand a simple sentence written in
proper English.
Take your elitist attitude somewhere else.

Friends,
Pls stop doing unnecessary blame wars, and help/support new comers, who is

Niket,
Thanks for introducing new Linux distro (at-least it was new for me)
"Elementary Operating System" and welcome to world of Linux/FOSS.
About Elementry OS-
It's an Opensource (under GPL) Ubuntu based Operating system, with a
beautiful user interface (much better than unity !).
And from developer point of view, Elementry OS is having well maintained
API's and documents for application development and UI enhancement.

Three cheers for some common sense in this thread at last. I shudder to
think that skills of reading comprehension and ability to identify proper
context within written matter( it was written as " - elementary OS", not
"an elementary OS", so without any gramatical implication that
"elementary"
was used as an adjective.) have reached such a low.

Seconded. Always nice to have others keep you informed, esp when you may
not be tracking this kind of news. It might not be relevant to me as a
fedora user, but someday, when someone talks to me about or asks for
assistance on Elementary OS(note context :-P), I will know what it is.....

Heh. In my dictionary:
elementary (adj): easily dealt with; straightforward and uncomplicated
Which I think pretty much describes Ubuntu to the 't'. :-)

I've been considering putting either Bodhi Linux or Elementary OS on my
usually-Ubuntu pen drive. I think I'll try Bodhi first and then move to
Elementary, as they've used Ubuntu LTS as base.
Thanks.

Thanks for highlighting this lovely looking distro. The website is very
beautifully done & the introductory video is really slick & polished!
