I am running Gentoo on most of the machines (that's my main distribution).
On my friend's laptop I am running PC Linux OS - amazing distro, check it
out! Second most popular on DistroWatch (after Ubuntu).
Currently I have Gentoo working on my MacBook and studio G5 (PowerPC
rules!).
I have an Ubuntu Studio desktop as well. If anyone asks to install OS onto
the
machine for him or her I always install Ubuntu.
