   I'm not surprised that you're still a little confused. Hopefully    
   you've worked out who in this thread is providing useful info and    
   who is providing clueless comments.   
      
   You won't go far wrong with either choice, they are more similar    
   than different, and the differences between either and other    
   distributions of Linux is greater than the differences between U.    
   and M. M. is specifically designed to get most home users up and    
   running with multi-media and a range of utilities that they can use    
   'out of the box'. Support on the Ubuntu forums (recommended) apply    
   to both. Just jump in and enjoy!
