From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you had to pick one distro to use for the next five years, what would it be? Bleeding edge / stable? Rolling / periodic?

What would you prioritise and why?

Stable and rolling I guess. Its kinda funny as I don't change very often but I would not like the idea of not being able to change my distro. im going to be making a serious stab at iso based one in the future. i would say soon but my soon with this stuff can be quite awhile.
