Though be aware that Live CDs are a poor demonstration.  For one thing,
they're a slow medium.  So don't be put off trying a proper installation
if the demonstration isn't that good.

Yes, it is a good idea to try more than one distro to see which is
better suited for you.  But I haven't seen anybody mention the other
important thing:  See what technical support you can get for each, and
which you prefer out of that.

e.g. I find this mailing list very good.  I haven't thought much of the
Ubuntu forums, back when I was looking at it.

If you can't use the distro all by yourself, and need help, you want it
to be useful to you.
