I use two distribution, Centos and Ubuntu. The latest Unbuntu, 8.04 is the best desktop yet, IMHO. For the server side, CentOS is used by many and is an ever popular server distribution. Personally I use Ubuntu server which has most of the features of RH EL without the cost. Ubuntu 8.04 server is particularly full featured, including Sun's ever popular Virtual Box VM engine.
Ubuntu is available here, the latest CentOS is available here. Both are quite a bit cheaper at free, than any of the alternatives. I think it's been free Linux which has made the Internet what it is today, and will propel it in the future. Even Sun is recognizing the power of free, it's good for business. Their new distribution, OpenSolaris, mimics the Ubuntu packages with a Solaris core.
Both come with Firefox 3, which is worth the effort to fetch, even if you run windows as your desktop. Get Firefox 3 here.
