I like Gentoo for it's flexability even shitty DELL's can run it fast cos you can really optimize the kernal in an easy way.
I like Ubuntu/kubuntu cos you can chuck it on old laptops and pc's and it's easy peasy!

Got to love texstars PCLinux OS though

I like ubuntu on the desktop because I like Gnome and I like having all my hardware discovered first time.
I run Redhat (well, CentOS) on my servers because I'm more familiar with it (used it since version 7.2).

Just for kicks, you should look at the poll that was posted on Cboard:

Ubuntu may be ok for just casual users, but is terrible for c/c++ programming. I tried it on my computer, easy to install but does not include any developers tools such as GNU compilers. I now use fedora 5 which is a lot more complete. Don't know anything about the other versions of linux.
