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.

Started with Gentoo. Used it until dependency hell broke my system hard enough that I had to reformat. Since I’m a PowerShell developer, I went with Ubuntu since that gets official support. I’m sure I’m missing out on a lot of cool stuff, but it’s a stable system with an excellent package selection.
