I was with Slackware since 1995... but a few years ago I switched over to Ubuntu and quite honestly I'm glad I did. Elitism be damned, sometimes you just want to get your work done and be able to install apps with a click (or in my case, a simple CLI entry

).
I do have to say, Ubuntu-server
really impressed me; I was anticipating a bit of a bloated beast but they actually have made it very nice (running our WWW server now on an Atom box using VirtualBox and yet it still runs slick

).
