Mandriva, Mandrake, Lycoris When I first started playing with Linux (RedHat Distribution -- Version 5.2 Deluxe), it was a present from a father's friend in Boston. As I recall that is the only version of RedHat I ever got to work correctly without any major problems (like "Kernel Segmentation Error" or something to that effect).

Gentoo

for months I've heard people always throw out the 'Go Gentoo'. I'm currently in stage 3 of the install process (I started at stage 1) and can't believe how easy the install was. All you do if follow the instructions and type a total of 14 commands to get a fully customized source based linux distro.

I seriously don't understand why now people don't use Gentoo.

It just doesn't make sense to me.

Oh yeah, Mandrake is known for its rpm dependency hell (atleast Redhat mostly straightens it out with there package manager)
