** Debian & Ubuntu **
- Painless Upgrades
- No surprises
** System Rescue CD **
- Excellent Rescue System(like it more than Knoppix or GRML)
- For Sysadmins
- Espececially for Rescue Tasks
** Knoppix **
- Best Live Distribution in Terms of GUI/End User Applications
** LEDE/OpenWRT **
- Gets you more out of your router
- Some Devices are available preinstalled with it(GL.inet: Really cheap! For Turris Omnia partly, because that's no pure OpenWRT)
- Can be difficult to find supported hardware(Did I say I prefer Hardware with that OS preinstalled? :-) )
