I am a big fan of Debian because the package management is so well  
done.  Ubuntu is Debian with a bit of extra polish for end users and  
a brown color scheme.  A number of people like FedoraCore+PlanetCCRMA  
since they have done some work to package kernels tuned for realtime  
media performance.
