I voted Arch. I love the minimalistic style. It was in a pretty close race with Gentoo though because installing that really learned me alot about linux, but I'm still having bad dreams over all that compiling

Hey, why no all of the above button? After all, without the kernel everyone's favorite distro wouldn't exist!
Cut my teeth on RH7.2, did the mandrake boogie, tried slack 9.1, 10.0, then on to FC1 and 2, then mandriva back to slack 10.2. INHO, slack gets it done.

Smile I love Mandriva!
Mandriva is the best distro!
I think its the most user-friendly distro and hence I love it.

I think Slackware should win again
I've tested many distros including Debian and Gentoo
Debian is good, but Gentoo is great!
I think that Gentoo is the best Linux distribution
It is developed, secured and supported very well!
but I still love Slackware, it's my favourite!
maybe I don't have to vote for distribution, because I don't use Linux for some time
I'm using FreeBSD for everything I need

Being a user of so many different distros, I find it hard to decide on just one, but for me I guess it would be Fedora Core.
