Linux is an electronic puzzle for nerds. 
Seriously, we run Scientific Linux at my workplace, since it ocmes with a lot of programming libraries that are popular for scientific work pre-installed. It's based on RedHat Enterprise, and isn't bad except for the UI they use. I don't know which one it is since I use it so rarely (99% of the time I use CLI to admin the Linux servers) but it's pretty lackluster.
We also have some plain RedHat Enterprise kicking around - we get it cheap through the Univeristy license.
We do screw around with various distros from time to time - I think my last attempt to make a Linux-on-a-USB-Key setup was using Ubuntu. Worked reasonably well.--
