When I first began researching Linux, for my needs, I found the number of different Distros to be overwhelming. So I made this flow chart, with the intent to help new users find a starting point for choosing a distribution.

I'm open to critique, as to making this chart as helpful as possible.

EDIT: Chart updated based on suggestions in the comments.

Very nice! (Not that you're taking requests, but I'd love to see something like this for home sever/self-hosting distros.)

Do you want a home server --> yes --> debian
