Fedora 6 (Simple to use, and it just simply works for me) and Solaris 10 (the SUN one, still waiting for my OpenSolaris DVDs) because it simply rules ;)

Regards.

since long time ago suse, now SuSE 10.2... Because.... was, German Technology ... jejejeje :D

Keep in mind Suse was a fork of Slack (pro slack user here, active dev). For home usage I use slack, suse for linux and for unix solaris and bsd.

Gentoo 2007.0 and kernel 2.6.19.1-rt15-3D-fb-alsaext from the pro-audio overlay for me.

Dependency hell is what append when you are using multiple repositories (the equivalent of gentoo's overlays) and are trying to install a package that depend on a particular version of a library when another version is needed by some other installed programs. It's very frequent with the rpm based distributions and less frequent with the apt based distributions (Debian). It doesn't append with gentoo because, as all the programs are compiled, their dependencies are all in your system, not precompiled in some external repository.

With portage, you have 2 keywords, arch and ~arch (x86 and ~x86 as example). It is like debian stable and testing. And you can mix them, that is define the system as arch (stable) and use ~arch only for your favorite program like amule. So, you will get the best of both world, a stable system and the last versions of your favorite apps.

Another thing with portage is that it is very easy to do a major system upgrade (like upgrading from suse 10.0 to 10.3), just 3 commands in most cases. My current system is 2 years old and is almost always up-to-date.

The minus is the huge installation time because of the compilation, but the system is fully usable during that time. You can even stop and restart the update as you want to.

I use Linux since 1995, first SuSE 5.0 , then Slackware, Sorcerer, Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Kubuntu and I stay with Gentoo.

Gentoo is great, all Options are there. Works from 250 MHz PC to High End. From Server to Multimedia PC.

It is always up to Date. I love him.

I also use It for some time   
     
I began with Slack (curiosity), then RedHad (this was of bad habit in combination with usenet c.o.l ^·_·^ ), then Debian, and for few time SuSE (I Acquired the 6.1 and I was fed up  with it, I gave it) and Gentoo (I'm in love)       
       
Today Kanotix and Gentoo

I used for my first year as linux-user Ubuntu, from feisty to hardy. Then I tried Vector Linux, Zenwalk, Slackware, Gentoo, Suse, Debian, Linux Mint, Fluxbuntu and all *buntu with different DE, then I found the light.

ARCH LINUX PROUD USER, powerful as gentoo or slack, simple as ... nothing... Nothing is better than Arch, once you try it, you can't go back.
