We use SuSE on ~50 desktops in our Institute and are quite happy (well, we had to tune it a bit to make it use apt-get). Debian is my first choice for non-BSD servers, but I would not use it for dekstop purposes still. Well, don't wan't flame wars here either ;)
Anyway, I am getting in love with OpenBSD because of its securyty, simplicity, stability, clarity, superb documentation and coherency. If I would have to build a server conected to the dangerous Internet, I will undoubtlely use OpenBSD.
I am already in love with it, since I plan to use it as a HA-firewall using carp and pfsync. Problem here is just that it looks as if I had to reinstall it all year ...
