Like what Get said,

Unix:
FreeBSD is very stable.

Linux:
Slackware, is also very stable and secure (This Dist is hard).

Gentoo, i never play around with, but i know it works with High End Servers very well, and works great with i686.

ubuntu, is good for a Desktop OS, if you like "apt-get" go for Debian.

FedoraCore, good for n00b / Desktop OS, but RPM's are dead and yum is gay... plz kill it FC!!!!! lol
