I ran Gentoo for a while and liked it.

I like Portage, but eventually I got tired of recompiling packages. I just
didn't have the processor power for it at the time and ultimately that
became a frustrating aspect of it for me.

With a Live DVD though, I don't imagine that would be much of an issue. ;)

At this point my boxes are split between Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora Core /
RHEL. I don't really have a 'favorite' Distro at this point, but Debian /
.apt styel and RH / .rpm style distros are all I seem to have time to keep
up with these days.


YMMV
