Can anyone spot the irony here?

If I had to choose a linux for a server, I'd probably go with either
SuSE (stable, supported) or Debian (potentially stable, flexible), and
probably in that order.  I wouldn't think of Linux first for this
application, and I'd want a 2.6 kernel as well, but hey, life ain't
perfect.

For a professional workstation, I lean toward SuSE again, with the more
popular Berkeley distro (v5.x) coming in second.

For a desktop, I've had good experience with Fedora and SuSE in the
past.  SuSE is, again, stable, supported, and comes with a default KDE
setup.

And for a developer's workstation/desktop/hobby, I whole-heartedly
recommend Gentoo, with FreeBSD 5.x coming in a very close second.

For a classroom environment, I'd lean toward SuSE or Debian.  Besides,
Novell just bought SuSE, and TMCC likes Novell.  You can see it in their
computer lab login screens.
