Hi Spoingy,
I use Ubuntu 8.0x. I have tried Fedora, Red-Hat, etc. but love Ubuntu - it is my primary OS; unless I am playing games - then I use XP.

I multi-boot with windows xp (for games) and about 8 linux distros at the moment - I just like trying stuff out.
My main distro is pclinuxos - to me it has the perfect combination of stability and newness, so it's my 'go to' distro.
I also have mandriva 2009 alpha 2 , pardus 2008, sidux, ubuntu se, and three different versions of arch - basic kde, kdemod, and kdemod 4.1 (testing).
Yes, I am a kdecentric type of guy

OS X 10.5 here.
Why? Power coupled with elegance.
You won't hear any complaints from me I love it

Mac OS X 10.5 on my laptop and desktop, and Fedora on my server. Why? Because they work, (and I hate Micro$oft WinD'ohs and the rest of their software).

I have a box sitting in the corner running VMWare Server with CentOS 5.2 on it that I ssh into from my XP box. I use it for testing, coding, and learning for work purposes. I'm considering setting up a public webserver on it just to see what happens.
I used to dual boot XP and mandrake, but...
1) It's a pain in the butt
2) I need the terminal/command line for Linux not the GUI
3) I never did anything with it other than once or twice a month boot into Mandrake for 30 minutes just to say I had
If you're interested in learning Linux then I highly recommend setting up vmware server (free) on a second machine and sshing into it. If you can't set it up on a second machine then set it up on your existing box.

I just installed PC-BSD.
Anyone know how to get it to recognize my wireless mouse? I'm using a a wireless keyboard that has a USB dock which acts as a reciever for both the keyboard and mouse. Keyboard works fine; mouse, not so good...

Ubuntu, although I've not had it actually installed for quite some time (since after the upgrade to 7.04, I think) because A) I wasn't using it too much since more of my tasks required Windows progs and B) 7.04 - or maybe it was actually 6.10, I can't remember - introduced display problems where my desktop was shifted about an inch offscreen and nothing I did to fix it would stick between sessions.
But I have been getting each ISO of it as it's come out. My hope is that when I finally get a laptop (likely for the college courses I want to get back into, not to mention when I get into video editing as a profession), that I can finally get back to using it. My dilemma right now is whether to go and download both 32- and 64-bit disks when 8.10 arrives, or just take the plunge and go 64-bit entirely. Anyone care to warn me about certain issues with the 64-bit editions that I should know about first?
My original reason for checking out Linux distros in general was in the hopes of maintaining a server sometime in the future, and I figured I should get partially acquainted with the OS family I'd be using. Tried Knoppix and Slax first, but neither of them played nice with my computer's graphics (which was odd, since my computer's from 2001 - I'd have figured such onboard graphics would've been supported by 2005, but I guess not). Ubuntu was the third distro I tested, it worked perfectly, so I used it and didn't look back. I've not seen a reason to switch, quite frankly.
