I use it. It has a nice non-intrusive easy-to-use GUI so it's good for my desktop stuff.
I also use SUSE, but for my servers.
I tried Debian but find it too arcane.
Started with slackware and still like it; but currently not using it.
Mepis and Peanut: Those are new to me - time to dig out an old machione and do some research.

Peanut Linux is a minimalist distribution (350MB) based off slackware. The stable version 9.5 is about a year old (although it finds my hardware excellently!)

The latest version, 9.6 is kernel 2.6.5 based with a cloop filesystem and the disk is capable of booting as a live CD. It installs itself using EXT2,EXT3,XFS and ReiserFS as well as a umsdos install.

The site is down as of the moment.
