I'm wondering what Linux distros my fellow soylentils use, and why.
I myself have loved Fedora since version 7, and never cared much for Debian systems. My desktops either run Fedora or a source-built XFCE system. What distros do you use, what architectures, and why do you use them? Are there any distros you wish were still around?

I run opensuse as well 13.2, KDE, and older version on a backroom server.
Other machines are Openbsd, But I might be moving them to FreeBSD. I pay for those, and am getting Theo a little hard to stomach.
I always have couple other distros in Virtual Machines that I fire up and play with just to keep up to date.
I also signed up for a free trial of SLED (Suse Linux Enterprize Desktop) and I found out they never cut you off, and it updates just fine well over a year and a half out. Its normally $50/yr. Its gnome, and boring.

No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
