I still reckon there are only three types of linux these days

Red hat (and its children , ie mandrake/SuSe/etc)
Debian (and its children, ubuntu, Xandros, etc)
And
Gentoo (and its children, if it has any)

I just stick to debian stuff and my knowledge transfers nicely. Debian
for the server, Ubuntu for the desktop, and Xandros for my grandmother.
