I use debian on my server, http://www.kb3llm.org and http://www.macuser9214.com (as well as a private site for a school club).

I use to use Ubuntu, but I wanted to expand my knowledge, so I tried Debian, and havent switched back..

If you are looking to run a server, I recommend Debian.. or Fedora (but I haven't tried Fedora for serving - just see a lot of sites using it)

Debian actually powers the server that hosts this website (as well as many other things). Although that is a recent change from Gentoo.

I say that Gentoo is probably the best distro out there if you are really looking to cut your teeth and learn a bit about linux. Ubuntu is pretty much the macdaddy these days as far as linux on the desktop. (OS X is king for UNIX on the desktop IMHO)

Yeah - OS X is awesome, although, I just like it for the GUI (Aqua).

In reality, I can do in Linux, whatever I can do on OS X.

I can do in Linux exactly what I can do in XP – crash my computer!

I am lost like a babe in the woods without my OS X.

I know that OS X is supposed to have proper WYSIWYG font rendering - the screen looks as close to print as possible. But I cannot stand the blurriness. The small fonts are smudges. That's why I use Linux. I guess when we have 300 dpi screens, the problem will go away. I just can't wait for 5 years.
