I just pulled out a spare laptop to try some new distros to help advise someone about their options. I installed a few and gauged how easy/simple it would be for each one in regards to their needs.
It wasn't distro hopping in that I wasn't really using them beyond testing, but it was checking out options, settings, and tools. In the end, they'll have to decide on what works best for them.
Yea that's basically what I did. I wouldn't call it Distro Hopping with a capital D H.
