What is the best free Linux distribution out there? I want something tailored for development, science, math, those sort of things.

You know that best is a highly subjective term. Having tried various Linux distros since about 1994, I'd have to say that Ubuntu is probably the best that I've setup, and it has one helluva lot of applications ready to install with it. It's a breeze to set up, and is friendly enough that I'm happy enough to install it on family machines.

For dev work? A friend of mine tried using it for that a few years before giving up in disgust because all its don't shoot yourself in the foot features made installing/configuring server type tools a nightmare.
