I have played with all of them at some point or another and I try to install
every new version that comes out just to see what's new.
I still run archlinux on all my stuff as it is extremely fast, has just about
every package I have ever wanted, is extremely fast, updates like a charm and
I've never had any form of update problem. And did I mention it's really
fast? It's faster than all the gentoo systems I've used...
The only thing is, I haven't tried a 3D desktop yet, as I just don't see the
point...
But hey, mp3's play right out of the box!
