Select All distinct values in a column using LINQ

To have unique Categories:

var uniqueCategories =  repository.GetAllProducts()
                                  .Select(p=>p.Category)
                                  .Distinct();

var uniq = allvalues.GroupBy(x => x.Id).Select(y=>y.First()).Distinct();

Easy and simple

I have to find distinct rows with the following details class : Scountry
columns: countryID, countryName,isactive
There is no primary key in this. I have succeeded with the followin queries

public DbSet<SCountry> country { get; set; }
    public List<SCountry> DoDistinct()
    {
        var query = (from m in country group m by new { m.CountryID, m.CountryName, m.isactive } into mygroup select mygroup.FirstOrDefault()).Distinct();
        var Countries = query.ToList().Select(m => new SCountry { CountryID = m.CountryID, CountryName = m.CountryName, isactive = m.isactive }).ToList();
        return Countries;
    }
