Regular non-Ubuntu Debian isn't even on the list? Harsh, yo.

No love for CentOS either, I see...

Not clear on why something being a server OS should disqualify it from being someone's favorite distro...

You didn't say "favorite distro to use as a desktop". You said "favorite distro".

I do, and I know lots of people who do as well. And yes, I'm reasonably sure me and the rest are in our right mind.

Oh, and has already been pointed out, you asked us what our favorite distro was. "Desktop" wasn't ever mentioned.

The GNU compilers may not be included in the .ISO for the LiveCD, but the GNU compilers are easily downloaded from the Ubuntu repositories via Synaptic.

I like Ubuntu because of the good community, easy to use with Gnome,updating and installing programs is not bad,Installing Ubuntu takes 5-10 minutes on a machine with a fast SATA drive.
