Fav Linux Distro? Grrrr, I have a cabinet of Penguin CD's

You better make this poll:

What Linux distro are you using? and what for?

I started on Slackware 1996, and still using it, for my servers.

I use Mandrake for my desktop.

I recommend SuSe for your school district (Novell shop)

I push for RedHat for your corporate environment (have the corporate ideology)

I hold respect for YDL & MK Linux for Mac's, the old Mac's.

I praise apt get family (Ubunto, Debian, etc) for cool desktop offerings.

I like Pink Tie for Sparc hardware(its a Redhat port).

I greet Linspire for the most daring marketing action, by having Wal-Mart sell Linux loaded PC's.

But most important:

I stand attention with salute for embedded Linux, king of the new gadgets, conductor of MP3& DVD players, ruler of the cellphones world, runner of every small router and cable modem in almost every house hold, and the future system of almost any small piece of electronics in the next century.

Someday, I'll have a Dick Tracey's watch, with a penguin logo.

That day is sooner than we think.
