I picked Ubu but iI go between it and Debian. I think vpsBoard runs Debian as well.
As for Ubu...those born before 1990 should appreciate this.

Slackware love anyone?
Story time!
The first provider I worked for (2001) was a purely Debian shop. Talk about a baptism by fire ... I remember him talking about how he was sick of something in Potato and wanted to get his hands on Woody. I didn't want to look like a complete newb, and since I don't care how people want to live their lives, I ... well, thought he was referring to a person/nickname and didn't say anything until a couple months later when it clicked what he was referring to.
I guess you could say I owe a lot of my career to Potato Woody.
Actually, He and I still talk sometimes and I found out that in April he sold off his client base and retired a very wealthy man....with his secretary at his side. Bittersweet when I heard ... I really wanted a hunk of those clients, and the "virtual-server.com" that would have been included.
The HTML4/5 combo-site he made in 1995 and overhauled once more in '04 are still in production while the new owners migrate off the clients.
Be prepared ... it has the 1995 cloud background in some spots.

http://elaine.pcez.com/spam/ -- the first "company websites" contribution. Still in the author tag of the source. Don't even remember which WYSIWYG i used.
http://www.pcez.com/virtual/ -- the former "virtual-server.com" -- virtual servers that I don't think were actual virtual servers. By today's definition they sure weren't.
At least it looks like he got one last update in before i left...
Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) mod_auth_kerb/5.3 PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny16 with Suhosin-Patch mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0
Anyhoo, putting the coffee down.

It all depends on what I have to deploy, but lately its been mostly Debian.
For work I'm currently stuck on a Windows 8.1 box, and strangely enough it doesn't suck. I hate to say it, but it just doesn't. I've had zero issues.
Then again, if I would've had a *nix based solution for the workstation I'd probably get more done, be more productive. Oh well -_-
Right now I'm testing openSUSE 13.1 and might stick with it. We'll see

I've been using debian on servers and fedora on desktops, but had been thinking of going to a debian desktop as well, though dunno what to make of the systemd brouhaha (mostly on the server side). If I were more hardcore I'd use Gentoo. More recently Guix and its parent Nixos have been interesting, though I haven't gotten around to trying either.

Gentoo isn't so much for the hardcore, but the extreme OCD. When I need very specific configurations or source builds, I'll pick Gentoo over Debian just for the level of customization available. One huge advantage of Gentoo though - people find themselves too afraid to touch your comp

Stupid Gentoo.

CentOS and Debian for servers. I have a laptop with Fedora and went with CentOS on servers when Fedora templates were unavailable depending on the provider. CentOS is well-supported by server scripts/tools, Debian is great with small (<=128 MB) servers for making the most out of the allocated memory.
Exactly the same setup I use. Have been using Debian in desktops too, but found Mint more polished.
