RHEL, CentOS, and Amazon Linux for servers.

Fedora on my workstation for development, I'm more comfortable with the administration since the tools are similar to RHEL. I prefer to use a separate mac laptop for VOIP, video chat and powerpoint/keynote, and whatever else.

Ubuntu on my desktop. I can also boot to Debian on my desktop, and have a number of VM images for various distros. Android ICS on my tablet. Bluehost, Dreamhost and EC2 are my servers. Dreamhost uses Debian and Ubuntu. On EC2, I've spun up the Amazon micro AMI and Ubuntu AMIs. Bluehost has a custom CentOS fork.

Ubuntu 11.04, although if I wasn't teaching high school I'd use something different now. I stay with Ubuntu because that's what most of my Linux-using students use.

If you don't mind me asking, why so far behind?

I just haven't made the time to update my own machine. My students are running 12.04.
