What do you use?

Fedora was a more user-friendly version of Redhat. By the sounds of it, CentOS is almost the same thing, except it's more its own distro, rather than an extension of Red Hat.

What about PC-BSD? It is not GNU/Linux, instead it is based on FreeBSD. I'm really thinking of giving it a try, my only problem with it is KDE. I prefer GNOME
I've read/heard that BSD is more secure and stable than GNU/Linux, something I need for my 24/7 always on PC.

I'd say Linux is more than stable for pretty much all users. BSD is pretty bulletproof, but it lacks the ease of use and support that GNU/Linux has.

FreeBSD is great..

But kiss your awesome hardware support goodbye. Even enterprise-level internet servers run Linux these days. It's quite stable.

I know FreeBSD isn't user friendly, getting X to work on it takes about 20 hours (no kidding) and that's the point of PC-BSD. To bring FreeBSD to the masses.
I've read what they have to say in their homepage and read some reviews about PC-BSD, and it seems to be very useable.
Even their package manager as I've read is supposed to be easy and out of the box ready to use.
Anyway, once (if) I try it, I'll let you know. I can get easily frustrated so if PC-BSD isn't set up and ready in 30 minutes after install, I'll purge it out of my drive.
