This is one of those questions were you can ask 100
people and get 102 answers. I have recently found the
joys of slackware linux. It has been the most stable
performer of the 10+ distributions I have tried. Plus it
has a totally smooth logo (how can you beat a penguin with
a pipe?) Check it out at http://www.slackware.org
I would stay away from the Fedora Core territory as they
seem to be headed into the auto-magic windows-esque
area.
