openSUSE. Enlisted for 441, but my id appears in 2056 changelogs by now and I
bear the role of global co-reviewer, i.e. some 9100 packages.

And in the paid part of life: SLE, RH6,7, Ubu14/16, Univention, Collax (things
you never heard of), Windows(*). So I am also aware about _their_
skeletons-in-the-closet.



(*) Not a distro, but an anarchy, which is also interesting to distribute for.
