I am basing my OS choice on the amount of software that is preinstalled. My linux box is not connected to the net, so I can't easily download anything :(
That's why I still use Knoppix quite a bit. It comes with KeyPassX, lazarus, and a few other apps that I use regularly. Hopefully, I'll one day have a linux machine that can go out and download stuff. I usually buy my Linux distros from OSDISC.com. It's worth it for me to pay a few dollars and bypass the need for downloading and burning the ISO to CD or DVD. I've actually bought a small army of different distros, but I'm only using a few of them.
