   My experience with more recent distros:   
      
   CentOS I quite liked, though it's conservative in software selection.     
      
   Fedora works well, but I found my production systems lived much longer than the   
   rapid release cycle.   
      
   Debian is a good choice for servers, though the NetworkManager stuff can be a   
   bit screwy.   
      
   Mint is a nice desktop distro, which I use.   
      
   Lubuntu is good for minimal systems (netbooks, etc), and an old netbook with   
   Lubuntu, SyncTerm and Multimail makes a very nice BBS terminal with great   
   performance.   
      
   I didn't like SuSE either, or (in its day) Mandrake/Mandriva.
