This is the kind of question that will generate (at least) 15 different 
responses.

I use openSuSE Linux, and found it encouraging that SuSE is the only 
Linux supported by Server 2008 Hyper-V virtualization.  Not the only 
Linux that will work with it, of course, but the only one officially 
SUPPORTED by Microsoft.

For someone who makes a good living as a .NET developer, that argues in 
favor of SuSE Linux for experimenting with mono, IMHO.

Others, who have personally adopted Red Hat, or Ubuntu, will of course, 
disagree.
