Gentoo

Nice to see Gentoo doing so well. I like Portage, and the BSD init scripts, and I think I've learned more about Linux using Gentoo than any other distro.

However, it's a bit too unstable and, surprisingly, outdated in places. Debian was my choice because unlike Gentoo, I can run it on my Celeron 433 and have a reasonable hope of running KDE, Mozilla and OOo before the next Ice Age. Synaptic is also way cooler than KPortage as graphical package managers go.

Gentoo's youth really shows in places.
