I'm contemplating switching to Gentoo for the following reasons: - Compiles source very trouble free from almost any tgz on the web - Seems VERY up-to-date - More friendly to newcomers (in my opinion) - Not likely to switch to Hurd some day - Not so close to GNU as Debian is, so can get fair take on: - ReiserFS - KDE - Not really a distrobution--more like a centralized source repository - Seems like a more simplified system altogether..
I like Debian mostly for the disciplined systems.
