Sorry, I don't know what the heck you are talking about here! But, I do like that photo best! And the BSD Blowfish is my second favorite. Heehee

I only worked with SUSE and Knoppix so far and have nothing to compare it to. Hope to get the chance to play around with other distros to find out more.Liked Knoppix the best

Gentoo has the best package management system and user community that I've ever come across.

Red Hat is the only distro I have worked with, I like it but look forward to using others as well.

I just installed Fedora tonight. I'll let you know how it goes.

Red Hat/Fedora /Cent OS

Redhat distros seems to have the largest development effort and therefore the most support for server and client applications. BTW...technically, BSD is not Linux but you deserve mad geek-props for including it.

I know, I know Open BSD may not technically be a Linux distro, but it is a derivative of Unix and therefore I thought it correct to include in poll...

I don't mean to bust your chops...under the circumstances...very appropriate.
BSD varients seem to be big amongst network experts and I understand it is the most common basis for router OS'es.

BSD arguably has the best network stack, which is probably why network minded people like it so much.
The BSD licensing model also probably goes a long way when hardware vendors are searching for an OS since it doesn't have many of the restrictions that the Linux GPL license has.

Love it! I may not upgrade to Vista because Ubuntu is so cool!
