After a short discussion in a topic recently right here it seems to me that people here like Gentoo, Debian, SuSE, and RH9/Fedora Core.
What I was wondering is what does each of these distros have above the other. I've used all 4, however currently only use Debian and Gentoo out of the bunch. I use these mainly due to their package managers, and installation features (apt and portage respectively) My personal favorite is Debian, just due to the fact that I dont have to sit around waiting for things to compile when I wish to use them at that exact moment in time.
I consistently here linux users recommend FC and SuSE to beginners also. So I come to you, for a FRIENDLY debate on what you think the best distro(s) are and why. Even though I think everyone agrees there is no one best distro. I would just like to see what the LJ community feels they like most. Don't be limited to just the distros I have mentioned either.
