Distro discussion

Hi, I've been lurking here for a while, so I thought I'd try and start a conversation. I've been using Linux for about a year, but wouldn't consider myself any kind of expert.

I was wondering which distros people use, and if you stick to just one, or if you "distro-hop" or use different ones on different machines. What do you love most about your distro of choice?

RedHat till about version 9 (not Fedora 9, Fedora was exactly what made me look elsewhere). Debian after that.

Debian stable is, well, stable. It may lack some newest features, but its reliability is well worth it. Makes a pretty nice router or server, too. Thus, I have a single platform on all my computers regardless of their roles. Not quite good from the security point of view, but greatly relieves the pains of administration.
