I use Linux because that's the only OS that allows me to do everything I need to do, at least at home.
No other can, so the choice was quick.
It's no distribution either like Ubuntu or Mandriva, it's my own Linux entirely compiled and integrated by myself. Even the PCs are custom made from parts.
I'm exclusively using it since 2001 in fact.

Makes me wonder what you're doing that you can't do on any other OS.

I use Vista Business 64-bit for my main workstation.  I wanted to develop with Visual Studio on a 64-bit development platform, so it was either that or 64-bit XP, which is poorly supported.  I haven't had many problems with Vista, and it really puzzles me that other users can't stand it.  I don't know what's so terrible about it.

I run Fedora Core 2 on my server, it's rather old but it works just fine, so there's no sense in me upgrading it with a newer flavor of Linux.  I tried Ubuntu on my main workstation, but after 2 hours or so of dealing with the package manager crashing and screwing up my install, I said to hell with it.  I don't have time to fiddle with an OS to make it work right on my main computer, I need it to do what I want it to do when I want it to do it.
