So, what is everyone's distro of choice?

Personally, I use:

BatBox (for my Linksys WRT54G)
Knoppix-STD (live-cd)
Slackware (general purpose/server)
OpenBSD (router)
*FreeBSD (general purpose/server)
SCO UNIX System V/386 (just to say that)

and a few others I use less frequently. There is an asterisk next to FreeBSD as I do not currently have a computer with it.

I currently use Debian.

have used corel and redhat.

can't really say which one I prefer because I dont use linux that much.

Gentoo, by far...

See my distro review thread for my thoughts/opinions on the major players...

Corel was the first distro I ever used and it got me into Linux (well, XGalaga did, but still). whee

Slackware 10.0 was the distrobution that made me unbelievably happy. Aside from Knoppix, the Debian based distros angered me. I figured the other package dependency hell distrobutions would also anger me ( RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE ), so I tried and Slackware and I'll never regret that decision. Currently, I'm working on Gentoo, but there's one problem I'm having with the stage 1 install which I'm about to make a thread for.

I use debian command line for an undead IRC server and Suse (with XWindows installed) for recreation.

I use FreeBSD for general desktop purpose (gaia, python coding, etc) and also for an IRC server.

The other boot on my dual boot is Slack 10, its used for other general desktop purposes and anything else I want to throw on it.
