What's the longest you've stayed on a distribution?
(self.linux)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not entirely sure, started with Ubuntu in 2007 or 8 I'm guessing. Still on Ubuntu, but the shine is very much off with all their pushing away from .deb files & several other frustrating issues.
It's been a few years since I tried Fedora but I'm kinda still angry at RedHat for the RHEL & Fedora split, that was some bullshit right there. That was a good chunk of why I went away from them, and being purchased by IBM & killing off CentOS hasn't won any popularity contests.
I'm thinking I may have to give real Debian a shot next cycle. I don't want bleeding edge anything, I stick to LTS for about a year past the release of the latest LTS, so Debian's "slow" cycle works fine for me.
