I'm using OpenSuse 10.2 because my other systems run it, and years in
IT have taught me that sameness is goodness when you have to maintain
a lot of machines. ;)
That said, if you're looking to gain experience with something
different, it might make sense to try a distribution with a different
package system than you've grown accustomed to. OpenSuse and Fedora
both use RPM. You might try Debian or even Gentoo.
