I personally use Arch with Xfce 4.8, dual booted with Linux Mint.
@Dann you are right, Arch wasn't too bad to set up, and it's the most stable distro I've run.

When slackware gets to 14, I may start using it again. I still use RH Fedora and Centos. Use a lot of Ubuntu and Debian, but possibly that is fixing to change also. Time to start learning LFS. Sorry, but I ca not pick just one distro.

Hey, where is Cruchbang? #! is all I ever run on my EEE. Mint on the desktop, and Arch on the laptop.

Since discovering Slackware at version 12.00 I never looked back. It is a thing of power and simplicity.

Arch Linux is powerful and simple too, and Pacman plus Yaourt rocks.

My order of greatness starting from high to low used to be the following: Slackware, Ubuntu, Debian.
This has changed in recent years. It is now the following starting from high to low: Slackware, Arch, Fedora, Debian, Linux Mint.
Even though the ones listed as low are where they are, that doesn't mean I don't consider them worthy. These are all my top choices and recommendations, but the order is pretty much my personal preference. There are some exceptions (like #! and a few others that I've heard about but yet to try) that get honorable mentions, but that's pretty much it.

Arch for the family box. Crunch Bang for the netbook. Ubuntu for the myth boxes.

Having just recently scrubbed my Windows machine, I am currently dual booting Linux Mint 11 and Ubuntu 11.04 (upgrading to 11.10 even as I type this). My main job is as a z/OS mainframe systems programmer, but I have on occasion had to work on HP-UX, Solaris, IBM AIX, and whatever that big DEC piece of junk used to run (can't remember). My first real experience with Linux was actually running SLES 10 in several z/Linux guest LPARS running as guests under z/VM on our mainframe.
