Post Your Distribution and Thoughts

Which distribution(s) do you currently run, and what are your thoughts (good/bad) regarding it?

I run Fedora 8 on my home desktop, and Red Hat Enterprise on our church servers.

I run Ubuntu 7.10. I've used Fedora, Debian, and Suse but Ubuntu is by far my favorite. It's overall ease of use is one of the big factors. Everything on Ubuntu just doesn't seem like it requires a ton of twiddling anymore. Older versions did but my upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10 was the easiest yet. They packed more little features like better gui configuration applications. The community is ever expanding as well. Documentation and tutorials are becoming more and more abundant and finding help for a problem is relatively easy. Ubuntu may not fit the bill for applications like server use right out of the box like Fedora or Red Hat does but for a quick and easy install on a desktop, there's none better in my opinion.

I see Ubuntu eventually being the one operating system that will bridge the gap between the average end user and the world of Linux and open source.

Currently, I am testing out Mint Linux 4, but I think I like Ubuntu better for a Desktop OS. I have tried Redhat, CentOS, Debian, Fedora Core, SuSe, and more, and Ubuntu is my favorite. CentOS is probably my favorite server distro, and that's what my dedicated (toy) server runs...

Ubuntu Studio 7.10. Loving it. Best experience thus far out of:
Sabayon 64
Suse
Debian
Redhat

Still loving my Solaris 10 though.

I use Kubuntu, due to a preference of KDE over Gnome. I used to use SUSE, but it became more and more bloated, and after I had to install Kubuntu on a work machine, I decided to use Kubuntu at home from then on too.

At work our servers are running Gentoo.
