Distro questions quickly get into religion and rehash, but I'll still
take the bate:
I recently switched to Debian, and I've been really happy. Debian
sucks a bit on device recognition--you often have to just know that
your ethernet card needs, say, a 3c59z driver or whatever it
needs. But other than that, the freeness is excellent. And when I want
something new, being able to apt-get it and be done with it is truly
liberating after years of Redhat and Mandrake and searching for rpm's
and their dependencies.
