Actually, I'm not running Linux at all.  [Moans and gasps from the crowd.]  At work, I've been involved with quite a variety of systems (mainframes, AS/400, Vax, Unix, Windows, ...) but I've been a Mac user at home for over 15 years. 

Besides, the first thing I learned about Linux is that you better have your fire-proof undies on before recommending a distro!
