Mostly Debian.
BIND, sendmail, iptables/ebtables/arptables, bandwidth limiting,
bridges, routers, wireless networks, frame relays (I use Cyclades
cards).
I guess those would be more my areas.  I can get X configured, but
then run openbox (on small screens I use ion2).  I really like x11vnc
and linuxvnc.  Better than screen because it allows me to show someone
what I'm doing and seeing and explain it long distance.
