I set my brother up with CentOS 5.3 because, since I'm the one who is
going to maintain it, it might as well be something I understand and
like. He and his family seem to get along fine with it. When I go
over, I usually just run a quick update and make sure everything is
working up to snuff. Since he has VirtualBox on it, I also maintain
that -- mostly by rebuilding its kernel when the CentOS kernel is
updated.

(Not that I don't think that there are a lot of good Linux
distributions out there.)
