Default Linux & Unix Derivatives

Out of curiosity, are there any Linux/Unix OS derivative users that browse The Ledge? If so, which distro and desktop environment? At the very least, does anyone here use FOSS (e.g. Mozilla Firefox)?
I was inspired to ask this question in part by a thread about desktop backgrounds (mine is the Mandriva One KDE 2010... although I only have Windows XP installed on both of "my" computers - I just use the LiveCD... ).

^ i used to use ubuntu 8.04. gnome desktop environment. my biggest annoyance with ubuntu was music management. i like itunes because i can just add music directly to the library and it'll organize the files for me ... i couldn't find any software for linux that would do that for me.

I run a Xandros distro on my EeePC. It's a special tabbed version of it using IceWM, but I hear tell you can get the full desktop version using KDE to run on the EeePC as well.
