I used to use Slackware Linux like 10 years ago and FreeBSD. Have used Ubuntu more recently. Looking forward to playing with the extremely strong suite of text processing tools (perl, sed, awk, grep, and all the UNIX computer science crap in C/C++ etc) when I get into computational linguistics combined with the easy integration with SQL. Have played with PHP and MySQL somewhat in the last year but havn't gotten deep into it.
I think *NIX is the best platform to code on. I wrote a big app deployment app for a PC retailer and spent 1/2 the time figuring out stupid aspects of how to get the GUI to work! *NIX makes things a lot more simple.
I don't really see any intrinsic value to technology the way I used to and feel like it is sort of a waste of time if I'm not making money or doing something productive.
