Don't want to start a war or anything, so e-mail me your responses offlist if necessary, but I'd like to know what Linux distro you like best and why.

Wouldn't you rather ask a less inflammatory question - like "which is better? Emacs or vi[0]?" :o) <snip />

Anyhow, I've used both Mandrake and Slackware distros, but am now leaning toward Debian or SuSe. If you have other suggestions or whatever, please share. Remember, NO HOLY WARS! Offlist is okay if you think your comments might spark something. :)

Don't go for Mandrake. Sure, it's a lot easier to use than the others, but... *shudder*. I'm using Redhat currently, but just as a desktop computer (with theoretical links to my home network). My site's host, though, uses Redhat on her servers IIRC, and has no problems. Apparently Debian and SuSe are extremely good. [0] Stupid question, anyway - everyone knows it's vi (well, Vim)
