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).

"BTW It is not realy faster than other distros, but could I convince a Gentoo user that? I guess no."
Yeah, actually you could. I run Gentoo, and while I love it, it doesn't seem much faster than Mandrake 9.1. I guess the main advantage for me, is that I know how the system is put together. If I screw around with command line stuff in mandrake, I'm scared that I'll break some of their custom scripts and stuff, but on my gentoo box I know exactly what everything does, and I can play with things all I want.
That and upgrading is so easy.
ps. I also love getting everything that comes out sooner than any other distro, but I sacrifice a little bit of stability for that ( eg. alphas & betas )
