I prefer Debian based OS, e.g Ubuntu, Mint, et al. Then all the windows managers are a mere apt-get install ... away. The only thing that irks me is the driver support for laptop peripherals. Still can't get MBP to run as cool and for as long on battery with Linux as with OS X. I've given up on VmWare as it seems to churn the CPU even doing very little.
