That's the rumblings I've always heard around the trots... Debian/stable for server, Ubuntu (Debian with batteries) for desktop, and other things only if that's what your customers and/or boss expect you to be using (such as RedHat based distro's due to service contracts or pre-conceived notions and whatever other mostly non-tech reasons...).
