"Personally, I am not convinced that Gentoo was able to lead this poll. I am looking to see if someone has tumpered with the poll. "

Another reason is that while distros like red-hat, mandrake etc all do a great job, chucking in an install disc and clicking a few boxes does not lead to the same emotional attachment to a distro that building it from scratch does.
With Gentoo you can build a system that is perfect for *you*, something that cannot be offered by prebuilt ones, so perhaps everyone who voted for Gentoo is really voting for a distro they themselves have designed.
