I use my own distro I created by installing Linux from scratch.
*flex*
On my laptop and work PC I use Kubuntu, our servers at work and for clients are generally either Slackware, SuSE or CentOS.
I'm busy installing a box which I am gonna use as my home firewall/router on Slackware 10.3

I plan on taking my external HDD to university soon though & download the zillion distros they have there. Then I'll try them 1 by 1 in the VM to find something that suits me.
That's the nice thing of a VM - you still have a working OS if the distro is not to your liking

Happily running OpenSuse 10.3 at home and at work although once a year I try Kubuntu to see if it's worth switching.
what makes OpenSUSE worth staying with then now that Kubuntu is quite good? Seriously curious. Never tried OpenSUSE yet.
I don't know I found when SUSE moved to OpenSUSE it started to be too sluggish for me. Also I think 10.1 it was that really f**ked me off with YaST being a downright b***h. But I had used SUSE from 8.3 till the last 9 with much joy. It taught me the joys of Linux.

It's mainly the fact that I can get a newly installed system running the way I like it without once needing to run anything from a command shell. I can configure everything I need from YaST. I tried Kubuntu again a few days and I couldn't even get my ADSL working without having to use a shell.
I really like Kubuntu, but currently OpenSuse seems a lot more mature as a desktop OS.
do you use a usb modem for adsl?
I have two Ubuntu Edgy servers running at home, with Kubuntu 7.10 on a laptop, pfsense on multiple firewalls, and openwrt on my WRT54G's, with some Gentoo / CentOS / Debian VM machines!

I use an ADSL router in bridge mode so I can split local and international traffic.
I can't believe there isn't a gui utility to setup a pppoe connection in ()ubuntu
why wait for a hw upgrade?
10.3?
You must mean openSUSE, Slack went from 10.2 to 11.0, 12.0 and soon will be 12.1.
*blush*
Due to my stomach hating me last night, I was pretty much replying to threads on my way to the bathroom
I did indeed mean 12.0
Would be nice to hear what distro you currently run.
I am first
Ubuntu 8.04 and PuppyLinux3.01_WobblyNOP
You mean 8.04 BETA. 8.04 will only be released on the 24th I think it is
I run Kubuntu 7.10. Haven't found anything better from the dozen or so I have tried

Used to run Suse but tasted Ubuntu and running 7.10 now for 6+ months.
