For me, it suggested:
Kubuntu, Mandriva, Mepis, Linspire, Xandros and SuSE
I told it I wanted KDE, any package manager, beginner/intermediate Linux
user, free or non-free. I failed Fedora Core (which I'm using on this
PC) and Debian (on the other) due to the GUI. So the test doesn't seem
unreasonable.
Then I told it I was an expert Linux user, requiring free, and it
suggested:
Kubuntu, Mandriva, Mepis, (adding) Gentoo and Slackware. It dropped
Linspire, Xandros and SuSE (non-free).
I ran the same test, adding support for wireless networks and it offered
the same choices.
It seems to operate on a "Rule out" methology. For example, when you
pick "free", it rules out all non-free distros. So its less of a
"chooser", and more of a "dropper".
