Which Distribution Do You Use for Your Desktop? Fedora 4

I use Fedora Core 4 on my every day working desktop. I started out with Mandrake 8 and migrated through every major distro, sometimes several times. I liked Red Hat and went to FC1 when Red Hat split it off.

My experimental box is now an old Ebay'ed laptop for which I swap _three_ harddrives. Currently, the drives hold Ubuntu 5.10, Suse 10 and...Fedora Core 4! I think when you get accustomed to the way a distro works and updates, urpmi, yast, yum, etc., it's easy to stick with what you know.

Incidentally, I get a chuckle when I hear that Linux "...is not you grandmother's operating system." My wife and I are both in our 60's and grandparents. She has no trouble negotiating her KDE desktop to check email, surf the web and play a few games. She also has no worries about viruses and other security worries. Of course, I do what little administration is necessary. I ssh into the machine and do a weekly yum -y update. I think more grandmas would be happier with a simple Fedora or Ubuntu with KDE than they are now with spyware and virus-ridden XP.
