If I had to use Linux in a work environment though, I'd pick Fedora for the opposite reason: my employer would want me using an operating system that was complete and they'd provide me a nice big hard disk to hold it all. Since I run on budget computers, and I fool with and screw up the system a lot I prefer slackware or debian. --Debee
