I have no prob, politically or otherwise, with any other distro but RedHat has served me well. Its reasonably conservative (stable) and reasonably up-to-date (modern), the best of both approaches. Now thanks to apt-get I can upgrade it regularly and effortlessly. KDE? I've long favored Gnome, so thats not an issue for me. Multimedia support? Once apt-get is installed thats easily remedied. Finally theres the whole standard issue, it is the unofficial standard. Beyond being my favorite Linux distro its also my favorite Unix flavor, for what its worth.
