Each distribution has its own emphasis, although they pretty much all have some common elements. What are you looking for in your Linux system? A well balanced system that you can add things to? A system with the largest selection of precompiled programs? A system to use for a few selected servers? A system you compile from scratch so that everything runs as efficiently as possible on your given piece of hardware? More details about your system requirements/wants would be helpful. My personal choice is Slackware, but you might want something different. Let us all know what you are looking for, and have a great day.
