Which 'nix/OS do you actually use?

Given the amount of advice on distros on this forum I'm curious to know which one people actually use most of the time on their home pc and why.

Personally, I use FreeBSD 5.4 about 80% of the time and XP Pro, Slackware and other assorted distros for the rest.
I use FreeBSD because it's absolutely rock solid and I love the ports system.
I need XP for video editing and pro quality audio stuff and I keep Slackware on a box because it's my favourite linux.
