I've been using various forms of Unix, Linux , and BSD since 1998. Early days were a lot of Slackware, and eventually moved into FreeBSD, where I was happy for years. In the end the usability, stability, and package management of the Debian system has me using it for all of my server setups. I've found it the easiest of the Linux environments to get up and running quickly. It's what I would consider the "standard" for a Linux OS at this point.
