Real men (beer-swilling, roll-your-own smoking, hairy-chested, road-digging (see other thread), non-yellow-t-shirt-wearers) use Slackware & Windows XP Pro.

lol I use both Slackware and Suse... what does that make me?

Well I can't be a real man, because I'm a woman...

Ps, Slackware is for sissies. It's straight-forward and easy to use once you get the basics. Suse is for real men, cause every time you enter Yast, you find a bug, and it screws up most config files you've just edited...

Just kidding. this thread is too subjective, and nobody wants to start a distro war, right? Linux is Linux after all. The kernel is the same in every distro.

You forgot the cigar...
The only people who use Windows are the ones who don't know what an operating system is....
We're all sissies---real men use machine code on VAXes--entered with paddle switches. real OLD men use punch cards.

So apparently I used to be a real hairy-chested man when I dual booted Slackware and Gentoo but now I use Debian I've had a chest wax and gone all girly. Well that explains it, LOL.

I'm just off to change my sig to 'If at first you don't succeed have a white wine or fruit-based drink'.

I had Debian on a while ago, but I spending too much on make-up, so it had to go. Oh, and those stiletto heels were crippling me, glad to get back to my steel-toecapped boots!
