I voted Fedora. However I would have voted for Windows if I had seen it. I may get flamed for that but I don't care. MS has done a lot and spent a lot of money in Operating Systems and Technology. I would agree that Linux is more stable, and way more flexible, however when push comes to shove, MS has been there getting people like us to our Grandmothers sitting at a computer. Those kudos doesn't include the business options that Windows allows a company. I will limit it to XP only. 98, Me in my opinion were not operating systems. XP is a tool that I have that has not broken yet and I like that tool.
I've been playing around with other distros lately, but, I've come to the conclusion that my favourite is still Slackware. I don't have a second favourite. I'll occasionally experiment with something else, but, I always come home to Slackware:-)
I love slack for my desktop & laptop platforms (since 97, almost 10 years!!!), but I've found FreeBSD a better environment for the server platform.

Yes, FreeBSD is amazing. I recently ran a Slackware/FreeBSD dual boot system and was impressed with FreeBSD 6.1. However, I'm easily bored so I decided to try Debian again. I'm really impressed with Etch Release Candidate 1; the people at Debian have improved the text based installer.
I'm now running Slackware 11 on two boxes and Etch on my third Linux box.
