I disagree in such afirmation, it's like saying that Ubuntu is Debian. Try building Sabayon from Stage 3 and if you get the same performance please let me know.

Well, Ubuntu is Debian indeed.
And when you build Gentoo from scratch to Sabayon you get I guess even a better working.. Since you just have what you want.
Buts its better for beginners to use a Sabayon since then they dont have a 'hard' install

suse.
i said suse, not open suse. i (and many others too) think suse kinda lost some of its stability, robustness, and sence of a complete unified whole packageness when they went from the nines to the tens.
i started with suse, so maybe i'm a little bias... but i still think yast is the key that pips suse ahead of the rest. I still use suse all the time, mainly just for yast and to manage all my partitions and multi-boot from.
but if you're really commited, slackware would likely be the way to go.
i've only just started with it, but sabayon seems geared towards coaxing people into learning more, more effectively than i have seen implemented elsewhere. not to mention its utterly packed with everything.
Slax might yeild some fun for you too.
the latest fedora automatically did things no other has done out of the box, which really took me by surprise since all previus attempts to install earlier versions of fedora ended in clenched fists being waved in the air.
the ubuntu's are great, cos no matter what u use it for, they seem to have that nieche sewn up. besides having a seperate ubuntu for each different desktop environment it seems (gnome, kde, xfce, etc - though that seems a little redundant when most other large distributions just pack them all in one) they also have studio ubuntu for artists, a christian ubuntu for christians, a muslim ubuntu for muslims, satanic ubuntu for satanists, ultimate ubuntu for gamers, the list goes on and on.
