Gnome Rocks!

Ubuntu is more stable.because they give more emphasis on Ubuntu Project and GNOME(I like it :D )
regarding black screen,ur display driver may not be installed correct(for eg:nvidia).


you can reset ur passwd by pressing "e" in grub ubuntu entry-again press "e" on the kernel line.now remove the "ro" to "rw init=/bin/bash" and press enter.
Code: 
kernel        /vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-386 root=UUID=whatever  [B][U]rw init=/bin/bash[/U][/B]
now press "b" to boot.when it enter's the root prompt "#",u shud enter as below:
Code: 
passwd username
^enter ur new passwd and exit reboot(write down ur new passwd if u forgets easily or enable autologin in gdm)
