Been using Debian unstable since last October.

For development it is The Distro. It has ports to
most (all the ones that i know of) CPUs, which is
vital for embedded stuff. It has a sane
dependency & package managment policy. It has the
largest number of packages. It is the esasiest to
upgrade and maintain (particularly with a fat net
connection.

Commercial distros try to create a "typical user"
cd. A typicla developer environment is anything
but typical. Further there will be no nasty
suprises in the gcc or per seat licences or some
other desperate manuover to stay alive.

Debian has a life and world all it's own and will
be around long after the commercial distros.

So for the technically savy it is the distro to
use.
