Basically, on this subject, I'm with you.  Which Linux you use is like 
religion, what works for YOU is best.  If you don't like Fedora, there 
is Slackware (yes it is still there but under a different name?), Ubuntu 
and many other Linux distributions.  What DOES matter here is how you 
use Wine and if Wine works for you.

When I loaded Linux on my current machine I picked Fedora just because I was familiar with Red Hat.  Now, I'm beginning to question the wisdom that decision. Fedora seems a bit too Windows-like for my tastes. I'm currently leaning toward switching to Debian.  I understand that Debian normally is not the most bleeding-edge distribution and is fiercely dedicated to only distributing free software.  I see a lot of Wine applications reported for Ubuntu and was wondering if there's any particular reasons why I'd want to pick one distribution over the other for use with Wine?

Please do not start flame wars. Pick anything that you want. Or anything your friend geek recommends.
