Currently running Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn <= who thinks of them) sticking to debian based distribs for a while as its so much easier to find deb based apt-get sources, apt is now avail on FC but findin rpm sources for it or yum is a pain imo. Before this FC6, but i couldnt find the odd few dependancies for some things and got bored of looking. Also had a half installed gentoo for about 2 hours until i realised it was going to take me 10+hours to dl and build gnome. Will have to try it again somepoint when iv the time free.

Also tried SuSE 10? and Mandriva 2007, good if youv no or slow internet and want to install everything off disc, but not enough sources for other testing or unstable packages without having to use webpages to find them.

Still need to try solaris 10 at some point tho.
