Well, we all use Linux, don't we? I use, in total, Fedora, Kubuntu, OpenSuse 
and Debian. I find distro. allegiances amusing, since I remember the days 
when Debian, Red Hat, and some long since departed friends were the only 
packaged distros. out there, and I was compiling KDE from source. And 
sometimes there are compelling reasons to choose one over the other, 
particularly for newcomers; I would not recommend Gentoo to a newbie, no 
matter how educational the experience would be.
