Another vote for Gentoo . Although install time is probably the longest, you end up with a distribution compiled specifically for your CPU, not i386 or i686....

I've never tried Debian, but I have friends who vouch for it. I think I'll try it next time I need to set up a server. But for a desktop distro, I like gentoo. I love the bleeding edge, so I use the unstable package option - although I don't remember the last time my system was "unstable" per se.

Bleeding Edge = Beta / untested software.
For example, while KDE 3.1 was in beta, gentoo was using KDE 3.0 which was stable, but with the unstable option switched on, I was using 3.1.

is this option automatically switched on or do you have to set it?, because i dont think i want it on, beta software normally has loads of stuff wrong with it
