Redhat 7.3 after I got rid of Mandrake (it just didn't run too well for me). Had slackware but that took more than I could commit in as far as time.
I'll take the easy road as far as linux or unix goes when time and resourses asr scarce.

- SuSE Linux 8.0 Professional: it's n00b friendly, 8.1 is latest, personal edition should be good for most, I had it on my Linux-DSL-router till the HDD died recently.

- Gentoo Linux: for the more advanced user, I'm in the move to replace my SuSE install with it. It's also on my gaming rig as second OS.

Mandrake 8.2 on both my servers here. Stable and easy to use. Plus I don't have the time to upgrade. :o

Typically SuSE 8.0, but I'm gonna look elsewhere as the SuSE distro is a little... well, big.
