Or, try one distribution at a time.  

My standard answer to the "Which Linux distribution should I run?"
question since time immemorial (in addition to what's at 
http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/index.php?page=kicking#distro) 
has been "Try one.  If dissatisfied, wipe it and try another.  Quit
when you think you've seen enough."

Bring blank DVD/CD media to meetings, and we can typically even save you
download time.
