Okay, the latest thread has gotten people talking about distros again. I hear a lot about distros in this manner, but just to get a feel for things, I'd be interested to see what distros everyone uses for their different machines. Even a plug for why that distro is used for that particular machine would be useful. I use Debian for both my workstation and my server. I use it on my server because its very easy to install the minimum functionality, and I am forced to learn about something before I "apt-get" it to my computer. It makes me feel like I have a little more control over what's going on on my machine. For the desktop workstation, I have used Debian for the same reasons as the server, but also because my machine is rather slow, and it seems to handle it better than other distros like Redhat 9, which I had on there temporarily. Plus I like Debian's apt/dpkg.
