I originally started using Linux 8 years ago at my first job out of school. At that time I was using Debian. At home though I started playing around with Mandrake. Over time though I liked Mandrake less and less and Finally moved to Ubuntu about 3 years ago for my desktop. I haven't looked back since I find the apt repositories have plenty of bleeding edge stuff while I can still compile whatever else I need from source. For server side stuff though, I still find myself leaning towards Debian although I'm quite at home using Red Hat, Fedora, and Cent OS also. Ultimately though, I have to say I much prefer apt over yum.
