Test Linux distros before downloading and installing

If you're completely new to Linux or if you've been using it a while and considering seeing what other Linux distros might offer compared to your current one then there is a great service called DistroTest.

DistroTest has hundreds of Linux distros that you can boot up and test directly from the website. It allows you to run a VM of the selected Linux distro live from the website. The performance isn't great but it's enough to get an idea of what the default setup of any given distro is like. You can look at the software that is included, experiment and do what you like with any of hundreds of different distros.

So, if you're looking to test before diving in as a new user, or if you're experienced and want to just look at how another distro is configured then give it a look.
