I concur with JD. CentOS for servers, Ubuntu for workstations.
If you haven't jumped into virtualization yet, I would certainly do so. It will make your dist-hopping experience much more pleasurable. VMware and Virtualbox are good places to start. Keep an eye on KVM as well.
Andriod is certainly interesting. Don't know if you consider that a distro or not, but it does run a linux kernel.
Which makes me wonder. Can I run Andriod in a VM? (w/out phone functionality)
See http://distrowatch.com for distro ideas. Sabayon looks interesting. -- -Eric 'shubes' On 01/07/2011 09:22 AM, JD Austin wrote:

For example gentoo is defined by its emerge/portage (to me) and the dynamic flexibility that represents to me. Debian for its rock solid reliability, and conversely Ubuntu being a graceful extension of that. -- A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
