I must admit if there was more warez/driver support for OSX I would possible dual-boot.

gentoo, debian, ubuntu and 10 years ago i used suse *g*
conclusion:
gentoo is not worth the hassle for a home system (too much compiling).
debian is pretty good, but it's a bit "outdated" even after a initial release, so you have always to be on debian testing, which is not bad.
and ubuntu, is like a up2date debian in someways, but has also it's very own problems too

Ubuntu is only good if you want a starter kit of a Debian-based distro. I would recommend openSuse to all beginners.gentoo, debian, ubuntu and 10 years ago i used suse *g*

in the meantime, yes, its a good starter distro.
but yast has a sour note for me, it used to screw everything up *g*
I'm using Gentoo for personal use since 8 years ago and in the begining was Slackware, Corel Linux, Red Hat, Suse and Debian (I never learned to use Debian). And also I'm using Gentoo in a server.
UBUNTU 8.10LTS the best.

I'm running Debian Lenny on 2 Desktops and on my server/router/firewall. I've been using Debian exclusively for the past 6 or 7 years or so. Before that I tried several different distros, including Red Hat, Slackware, and my first.... Mandrake.
