Your favourite distro - Zed - 12-10-2012
What's your favourite distro and why? Sub-distros count, so that's all good (e.g. Ubuntu is Ubuntu, not just Debian.)
I'm a big fan of Crunchbang at the moment; running Waldorf (which is based off of Debian Wheezy, Testing), and it's gorgeous.
It's still incredibly stable, and customizable to boot. I made my own tint2 theme since I didn't like the others.
My only irks are that my fucking NVIDIA drivers didn't install 32bit OpenGL libraries, so I'm unable to play games which need OpenGL via Wine. Cocks.

I definitely favor Backtrack 5 R1. It's very nice, fast, useful, jam packed, and has the choice between GNOME and KDE interfaces.

If you're using Backtrack in a serious sense (that is, it's your standard distro), you're using it incorrectly. It's made to be run in a live session, not installed.
If you want GNOME/KDE/other, you could take a look at a minimal Debian install (which Backtrack is based on, since Backtrack > Ubuntu > Debian), or you could go for the *ubuntu flavours, such as Lubuntu with LXDE, Kubuntu with KDE and Xubuntu with XFCD (I think it's XFCD atleast).

I use it for pentesting alone. I used to do a LOT of pentesting.

I really like Debian and always have.
Currently running Debian Squeeze 6.0.7
RE: Your favourite distro - Dean Winchester - 03-31-2013
I'm still on Debian. It's simply the best.

Oh, are you? What window manager are you currently running?
OP: I will always love Arch, with all of my heart.
