Well as a long-term linux user, having tried many distro's so far I would definately have to give my "favorite Vote" to Either Slackware 9.1 or Fedora Core 2 [1.90 actually because it's Still in testing], the 2.6 kernel makes things really nice and Jump drives easily usable. Thnx-a-million to all of the other developers out there for making Linux what it is.
