I stay on the Debian side, partly for stability and predictability, partly for philosophical reasons. I use Debian on servers (though I'm still uneasy with systemd, but hey life goes on) and Mint/Ubuntu (with KDE & Xfce my preferred DEs, depending on horsepower, though I'm favoring Xfce more and more) on the desktop. CentOS I've used in only testing. My last production RHEL install was version 3 when I was running a mail gateway for a state agency a dozen or so years ago, although thoughts keep drifting back to working on my Red Hat certification. I use OpenBSD on the rare occasions I need to host a Web or dedicated FTP server, and run FreeBSD-based pfSense for small-network firewalling. Nearly all of this, I'll add, is stuff I'm running for my own use or for the consulting/design company my partner and I run on the side. Virtually every shop I've walked into since returning to Louisiana in 2002, save a very small handful, has no Linux presence within the network perimeter other than what lies beneath a hypervisor or something. My employers and clients have been Windows all the way down.

I’m a little perturbed at times with how slow they are to include updates, but that’s where the training and experience has been. I do have a few Ubuntu machines around as well.
