Arch Linux baby!

Debian or Ubuntu here, when I run Linux. :)

Linux Mint or Ubuntu, for me...

I'm fairly new to Linux but so far I've tried Ubuntu and openSUSE - I like SUSE better.

Ubuntu and Arch. :D use both. on 2 machines. :) altho, i prefer ubuntu. just simplier to maintain. ;)

btw, @ross: tried soo many times suse in past years. and i just never felt for it. still not liking it. :)

I (when I am on linux) use mainly Mint. It's a very good derivate of Ubuntu, IMHO, it features a really elegant desktop, and with all multimedia codecs out of the box.

My only complaint is that - till now - there is no reliable upgrading procedure, and one is strongly encouraged to make a clean istall of the new release: this not fit entirely well to my preference; I really prefer to upgrade, when I can, so not to have to spend time on all configurations again and again...

@mcastel: well, fot that reason i prefer Arch. it's rollover, so u don't have to reinstall or upgrade. u just update/upgrade (call it whatever u want) packages, including kernel. only minus i find in arch is. u got to be bit more experienced. and if i need to have some special things done "right now" and just don't remember how u do them, it's bit of a pain. for example:
changing proxy for whole system is in ubuntu easy, u just do few clicks and everything is changed. in arch it doesn't change for me whole bit only gnome. terminal for example is unchanged. (i know, i might be just missing something and searching bit on internet would help to find solution to do this in arch as well. but... just can't be asked. :P

Debian on server, Ubuntu on desktop when I need Linux. Usually it's in VM under OSX. ;)

I'm hopeless distro hopper. Debian Sid (or Sidux lately), Zenwalk/Slackware, Arch Linux and Mandriva on the steady rotation on my laptop. But if I absolutely must name only one, I'd say Arch.

Last autumn I put up a home server with my old PC and installed Ubuntu on it. Very pleasant experience, maybe I should try fiddling with it again, try other distros and shit.

Sometimes I feel like a complete nutcase. I have already bought a web hotel from suncomet, so there's no reason to lose my nerves with a home server. But it's fun!

I've got Arch Linux on my slice ;). But yeah, I've made my rounds through all the major disros at one time or another.

Started with Red Hat 3.x, and then changed permanently to Debian when Woody was released and now I'm running Debian stable on server, unstable on my workstation and Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex on my laptop. My Gumstix-board runs on Angstrom :) Arch Linux is cool, but I'm too lazy to "fix" something that works already ;>

Depends on what role the machine/s running on the OS has.

For servers I prefer CentOS, for desktop/laptop I'm using Ubuntu (boring I know). I am open for new suggestions when it comes to the desktop/laptop bit, but it should be as easy/fast to use as Ubuntu - I don't have time to have a computer of mine standing doing nothing while it's being setup :/

Arch Linux. Left Ubuntu to give it a try and I will never look back :D

OOps Maybe I should add that I'm still running Ubuntu Server on my servers ;)

Ubuntu with media support added by the Perfectbuntu script. Haven't tried other distros so much yet, but at least getting help with Ubuntu is plentiful with forum posts, bloggings, comparisons etc.

archlinux & ubuntu. I have been dedicated to arch since 2004. running lucid and maverick also.

Nice take on the different distros:
