I started with Red Hat,
Then for a few years I was a happy Debian user,
followed by a few years in Gentoo land;
Now I walk the Ubuntu pastures.

I've had great experiences in all three.  But really, you can't go
very wrong with Ubuntu, Debian or Fedora Core.  All are easy to
install, easy to use and easy to maintain.  Gentoo takes some more
work; but rewarding none the less.

Cheers,
g.
