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debian is pretty good, but it's a bit "outdated" even after a initial release, so you have always to be on debian testing, which is not bad.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.Quote:

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 :wacko:). And also I'm using Gentoo in a server. :)
UBUNTU 8.10LTS the best.
Opensuse and Ubuntu here.
Now using the lastest version of Debian!
Linuxmint Gloria, (haven't updated to the latest Helena release yet) an excellent and stable distro based on Ubuntu.
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.
