I use what works for the application at hand. A laptop running Linux that I want to edit shit and watch DVDs on.. er, no. Long battery life Linux? Not quite.
I found this version of Slackware to be pretty much what I expected in the fundamental areas. It was as usual stable, reliable, and fully functional. The installer was a familiar face and worked flawlessly and even sets up some of the tedious little configurations for the user such as network, root password, and timezone.
I prefer FreeBSD for servers because it's very clean and stable.
For the desktop i use Windows 2000 and Windows XP because of the tools / software / hardware which it's compatible with.
