I consider the kernel improvements by vendors an improvement, with much
more additional testing by the vendor.

I use RedHat 7.2 at home. Started back with Slackware many many years ago -
must have been about '93 or so at uni. Used RedHat for a while in web
hosting in '96, and I seem to keep coming back to it. I've been wanting to
try Suse and Mandrake as I've read lots of good things about them, and I

desktop: dual boot mandrake and gentoo, because both are up to date and
seem to have multimedia apps that actually work. gentoo is very up to
the minute.
servers: redhat, cos its what I started on, it seems
I am using RedHat (6.2, 7.1 and 7.2) for home and school servers. No particular reason
except that was what I started with and it has not caused me any real problems. A case
of "it aint broke - don't fix it" so far at least
