I have no good reasons, but currently use suse 9.something. I mainly use
that because Erik hendriks used it, and I needed his kernel patches etc.  
to work, so decided to stay bug-compatible (not that suse is more or less
buggy than anything else -- it's pretty good).

Ollie Lo, whom I respect very highly, is pretty happy with FC3 and now 
FC4, in spite of some problems with udev. 

I keep thinking about gentoo, since I really still like freebsd better and
gentoo reminds me of the freebsd ports collection. There are days I miss
from my old job which involved a lot of FreeBSD work ...
