Mine is CentOS! If your favorite desktop distro isn't a choice in the poll, feel free to reply!

Hi...

My favorite of all time was Ubuntu 10.04. Currently, I don't really have one, even though I use Lubuntu on one of my systems.

Regards...

OpenSUSE

Good hardware support out of the box, and it strikes the right balance between untested alpha vs rock-solid-but-doesn't-support-anything-from-this-decade software for me (eg: Fedora vs RHEL/CentOS).

If an administrator would like to add the choices I am unable to add, I would be fine with that. I didn't realize you can't edit the poll once it's posted...
