What distro are ya using and why?

FreeBSD all the way for my OpenSource Operating Systems. I doubt I will ever touch a Linux distro again by choice. I originally started out with Mandrake, then moved to RedHat. I had always been told that FreeBSD was very hard to use. One day X-Istence convinced me to give it a try. I have never looked back. As a server OS I personally dont think it can be beaten. As a desktop OS again it is extremely stable and quite easy to use. The only let down, and the only reason why I no longer have FreeBSD as my desktop OS (I run windows on it again) is that I havent found a single Nix Window manager that looks nice. Gnome, KDE, blackbox, fluxbox. I have tried just about all of them and they are all horrid. KDE is more featured than Gnome, it looks prettier as well, Gnome is imo ugly as sin. KDE while being an improvement isnt much of one. *box didnt really do it for me either, just couldnt get used to them. I think Nix Window managers need to come a lot further before they can be considered for mainstream desktop or laptop use. Windows and Mac OS X are fantastic Window managers, polished, attractive, featured. Until the open source window managers get more designers (I hate to say it, but its true) involved than just the code geeks they will always be behind imo.

Interesting, I love Gnome, I can't really think of anything it doesn't have. I really can't stand Windows anymore, I think its GUI is horrid.
