OT: "Best" Linux Distro?

It was thus said that the Great Cini, Richard once stated: Mainly desktop usage? Server? Both? How much Unix do you know? Do you care to know? One thing I've found is that the distributions that come with some form of automatic package management (like Fedora Core with yum, or Gentoo with emerge) that unless you update every hour on the hour, you will soon be unable to update at all since older versions (where "old" is defined as "older than three days") are no longer supported (and even then, doing it hourly may not be frequent enough) [1]. -spc (Who tends towards using tar balls and forgoing the whole package crap ... ) [1] Hyperbole, but I have a few Gentoo servers that are now unable to emerge properly since they're "too old" apparently (and I only emerge stuff when needed, not for gratuitous upgrading. [2] [2] Which slowly consumes disk space for the system as software packages tend to bloat, and there's always a risk of an upgrade breaking an existing setup.
