I'm going to toss out FreeBSD.  I was a hard core Debian-ite for a long 
time.  But recently I made the switch.  I'm a huge fan of the 
packages/ports system.  Everything "just works".

I was getting kind of fed up with a lot of the politics in the kernel 
list as well as the debian world.  Not that the bsd's are by any means 
immune to that sort of thing, I was just more drawn more to the 
development model and the licensing philosophy a bit more.

My freebsd boxen have been rock solid.  I have no problems doing a 
kernel update on a headless box with no console (non critical system, 
but it works every time).

I can't say  enough about the ports tree.  'make install clean' is all 
you ever need and ALL dependancies are automagically taken care of.  It 
just works.
