From 2003 to just recently I've used Slackware. However, the quality of
the distro has suffered in recent years, and I'm tired of fixing it to
use it. (I'm not just a taker and no giver, you can find my name in
ChangeLogs, though most patches/fixes I've just sent to Eric Hameleers).

Now I'm using Gentoo.

Before we left China I did give Ubuntu a whirl to have something to
install for new customer's desktop machines. It lacked more to be desired
than time permits me to waste saying.
