redhat 7.2 for the desktop, though I have to admit I've been very happy with XP lately so the poor old penguin's not getting as much use as it did.

My test server (aka my 5 year old Gateway :D) runs Redhat 7.2 since that's the OS our servers run, but on my Win2k/Linux dual-boot computer that I use for every day stuff, I'm running Debian.

I say use Slackware if you want to learn or like setting things up manually, or use Red Hat if you're lazy.

Agreed -- I learned on Slackware. I swear, that distro will prepare you for anything ;)

Also agreed! I am disappointed to see that I'm the only one who uses it here (well, not based on respnses, but based on the poll).
