What is it that makes one a "Linux expert"? Knowing bash/awk well? Embracing the pain that some other distros are? Using Vim? If it's any of those then I'm definitely no expert, as I primarily use Python whenever bash starts to get even a bit complex, selected Kubuntu because I didn't have to deal with a bunch of source issues I had with Ubuntu (due to licensing; also avoided Arch as I heard it's a nightmare, but occasionally work on a CentOS box as part of my job), and do almost everything re text in Emacs.
