Given that I now work for a Microsoft shop (and still use Ubuntu HH at
home), I checked this on the Microsoft Knowledge Base....

> Ubuntu               Commies
> Suse                   Terrorists
> RedHat               Liberals
> Mandrake           Pinkos
> Slackware           No collective noun as not enough people use it!

But personally I prefer

Ubuntu:      Bunties
Suse:         Susans
RedHat:      a Fedoration of RedHat users
Mandrake:  Mandies
Slackware:  Slacks
