That's a difficult question. I like Debian because I can build it up piecemeal from a minimal install. A lot of that is down to the package manager. Fedora might have similar functionality these days - though I didn't have a great time the last time I used Yum.

I like to drive my computer with the keyboard. I tried to avoid Gnome on my last install, but it's keyboard config, theme manager and Nautilus won over other desktops. I use metacity, which is boring but good.

To be honest I'm not totally enamoured with any Linux distro. But I like the ones that try to remain free. Oh and the ones that work with my hardware.
