From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Opensuse since back in the SuSE days. I've dabbled with other distros and even had a somewhat extended run with Fedora when their Gnome implementation was better, but I've always gone back to SuSE. mostly I just like Yast although I find I've used it less and less with time spent understanding what it does and how to do that other ways.
Oh, I member installing SuSE from like 4 CDs!
