I've done a lot of distros over the years - Slackware, Caldera, SuSE,
Gentoo, all the RedHat derivatives, ubuntu (k & X variants], sidux,
and now PCLinuxOS. At work a mixture of RHEL and CentOS and
Solaris.and entirely too mux Windows.

The only one I would describe as the worst (IMHO) is the Novel/SuSE
set. All of the others have their pluses and minuses. A lot of people
like CentOS (and other RH derivatives), but it's rather trying to fit
the latest LAMP set into an RHEL/Other distro - too far behind the
curve.

PCLOS is what I'll run until something better comes along or I get a
wild hair to try something new. I've done both the KDE (main PC) and
the LXDE (netbook) set.
