ClarkConnect is more specialized - I'd use it instead of a NAS, for
example.

But on this particular machine I wanted a full-fledged desktop OS. 
ClarkConnect is not a desktop OS.  I used to think of it as a
firewall/gateway OS but it's really a server OS now, I'm using
SmoothWall on an old, old machine as a firewall/gateway OS.

Incidentally it was my positive experiences with SmoothWall plus
getting some experience with the command-line that wanted me to try a
desktop Linux OS.  Ubuntu is #1 most viewed on Distrowatch, it's very,
very well documented and has very active forums.

It also uses GNOME by default which looks really nice.  I guess I
associate KDE with all those half-functioning distros I tried years
ago.
